By Her SIDE: Changing culture to promote female sport and exercise practitioners working in elite sport

Women sport and exercise practitioners (including physiotherapists and sport and exercise physicians) often work, or aspire to work, within elite sport. However, it appears that these women may not have equal opportunities to jobs, training, mentoring, promotion (& remuneration) and a respectful environment. This work will commence by surveying titled APA Sports Physiotherapists and Australasian Sport and Exercise Medicine Physicians. The survey results will be supplemented by interviews/focus groups of women working in elite settings (e.g. Olympic Games; Commonwealth Games; AIS/NINs) and women working in elite professional sports.
