Three weeks left to complete the Parent Perspectives Survey |
|
In partnership with the WA Government and The University of Western Australia, SportWest is proud to continue the rollout of the statewide Parent Perspectives Survey, which is now live online.
This survey presents an opportunity to capture the real experiences, motivations, and challenges faced by parents and carers – both within and beyond sport. The insights will inform future parent communications and provide essential baseline data for comparison, with the next survey scheduled in two years.
There are just three weeks left to participate and share widely! Data collection began on 1 September 2025 and will close on 5 October 2025. Until then, parents and carers who complete the survey online can go into the random prize draw to win one of four Rebel Sport gift cards valued between $100 and $500. Full terms and conditions are available on our website.
We invite you to join us over the next three weeks, in circulating the survey link across your personal, professional, and organisational networks – including internally with staff and members who may be parents beyond their participation in your sport.
Campaign assets – including images, posters featuring QR codes, social media links for sharing, and newsletter copy – are available by contacting beth@sportwest.com.au. |

Free Webinar: Creating Safe and Equitable Spaces for Women and Girls in Sport |
|
This session will explore the positive experiences of women and girls across all levels and roles in sport, and highlight how each of us can play a part in fostering and amplifying these stories.
The webinar will feature two panels: one exploring the athlete experience and the second investigating the systems and structures that exist to support women and girls participation.
Through the panel discussion, the webinar will explore the speakers’ personal experiences, the positive influences that shaped them, and practical actions viewers can take and implement within their own communities.
From the athlete experience to the work being done behind the scenes, we’ll look at what needs to be done to drive real change toward greater equality and inclusion in sport.
