Women in Turf - Education Events 

Launched in 2022, the Australian Sports Turf Managers Association (ASTMA) Women in Turf Strategy is a program intended to addresses the key actions necessary to increase the representation of women in the sports turf management industry.

The Women in Turf Strategy is designed to establish a framework for the target areas of talent attraction, in pioneering new and innovative ways to increase participation of women seeking a career in Sports Turf Management, and talent retention, through the advancement of vocational and experience opportunities to develop skilled and qualified workers through a series of pathway and support initiatives.  A key pillar of the Strategy, is the development of Education and Networking Events, providing learning and networking opportunities for sports turf managers at a range of events, venues and activities throughout Australia.
