R&A Women in Golf Charter Lead – South Australia

R&A Women in Golf Charter Lead – South Australia

Help shape a future where more women and girls see golf as a game for them – and where everyone feels they belong.

Golf in Australia is growing and evolving, and we have an exciting opportunity to help ensure that growth reflects the communities we serve. As part of the Australian Golf Industry’s BIG SWINGS 2026–2030 strategy, our BELONG ambition is clear: to create a golf community where everyone feels they belong, with a particular focus on women and families.

The R&A Women in Golf Charter is an important part of turning that ambition into meaningful action at clubs and facilities across the country.

We’re proud to be part of Australian Golf’s transformation, a time of unprecedented growth,

innovation, and opportunity. As our game evolves, so too does our workplace. Through it all, our values shape how we show up, collaborate, and lead:

• We Welcome Everyone – Inclusion is at the heart of who we are. We’re creating a workplace where people from all backgrounds feel they truly belong.
• We Are Connected – We work as one team, supporting each other across clubs, communities, and partners to grow the game, and each other.
• We Are Courageous – We’re not afraid to do things differently. We challenge the status quo, embrace change, and reimagine what’s possible.
• We Bring Our Best – Whether we’re delivering a major championship or helping a local club thrive, we bring care, pride, and purpose to everything we do.

We work alongside clubs, facilities, government and industry partners across South Australia, connecting with Golf Australia teams to support women and girls’ participation, strengthen leadership and governance, and help create welcoming golf environments where more people can engage and belong.

At every step, we’re driven by the belief that golf is a sport for life and there’s a place in it for everyone

ABOUT THE ROLE – Adelaide | Part-time (2 days per week) | 12-month contract

Reporting to the R&A Women in Golf Charter Manager, you will work collaboratively across Golf Australia’s Women & Girls, Participation, Places to Play, Public Affairs and Marketing teams, while building strong relationships with club boards and committees, government, industry bodies and community networks.

With a strong focus on stakeholder engagement, facilitation and practical support, you will help new venues progress toward becoming Charter signatories and work alongside existing signatories to turn their commitments into meaningful action. Through workshops, venue engagement and collaborative planning, you will help build the capability, confidence and connections needed to create more welcoming and inclusive golf experiences for women and girls across South Australia.

Your impact will include:

• Growing the Charter community across South Australia by engaging clubs and facilities and supporting more venues to become active R&A Women in Golf Charter signatories.

• Helping clubs move from commitment to action, working alongside signatories to progress their strategies, review outcomes and create sustainable change.

• Building stronger capability within clubs and facilities through workshops, practical guidance and conversations with boards, committees, staff and members.

• Creating more welcoming experiences for women and girls, helping venues identify and remove barriers to participation, leadership and involvement in golf.

• Connecting people and ideas across the industry, creating opportunities for clubs, facilities and stakeholders to learn from each other and share what is working.

• Strengthening partnerships beyond golf, working with State and Local Government and industry bodies to identify opportunities, resources and support for women and girls initiatives.

• Supporting the industry’s BELONG ambition, helping bring to life a golf community where more women and girls feel welcomed, valued and that there is a place for them in the game.

• Sharing stories of progress and impact, helping showcase successful approaches from South Australia that can inspire further change across the broader golf industry.

You’ll bring:

• Qualifications in Business, Administration, Sport Management or a related field (preferred).
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Demonstrated ability to build positive working relationships with stakeholders.
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to manage competing priorities and work proactively.
• Confidence in using Microsoft Office and digital systems.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team environment.
• A passion for sport and community engagement (golf experience beneficial but not essential).

Why You’ll Love Working With Us

At Golf Australia, we know people do their best work when they feel supported – in work and in life. Here are just a few of the ways we bring that to life:

• Flexible Working – We offer hybrid work and flexible hours, we’ll work with you to find the balance that fits.
• Family-Friendly – With generous paid parental leave for all carers, we understand family always comes first.
• Wellbeing Focused – Our partnership with Acacia supports your mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing; plus in some of our offices you can access elite gym facilities.
• Opportunities to Grow – From formal and on-the-job learning, we’re all about growing together.
• Extra Perks – Enjoy free onsite parking, access to exclusive golf events, and partner discounts – all part of helping you bring your best, every day.

Still reading? We hope so.  Golf, like many sports, hasn’t always felt like a space where everyone sees themselves, and we know that women and other underrepresented groups often hesitate to apply unless they meet every single requirement. But at Golf Australia, we’re committed to changing that.

At Golf Australia, our belief is simple: “All golf is golf, and all of us can be golfers.” That philosophy extends to our team too. We’re building an organisation where diverse voices, backgrounds and perspectives are truly welcomed and where people can bring their whole selves to the work we do.

That commitment to inclusion also means creating safe, respectful and supportive spaces. We are dedicated to providing a safe environment for all employees and participants - including children and young people - and we expect everyone involved in delivering golf in Australia to understand their responsibilities when it comes to child safety.

So, if this role excites you, and you feel you could contribute even if you don’t tick every box, we’d love to hear from you. Let’s have a conversation. You might be just what we’re looking for.
