We believe that more can be done to improve education and employment outcomes for students in remote Australia, particularly Aboriginal girls and young women.
The Girls from Oz (g-oz) program, uses a tried and tested performing arts engagement model developed over 30 years by the Australian School of Performing Arts, to engage and re-engage females living in some of the most at-risk communities in Australia.

Our Instructor team touches down in Lockhart River next week for a week of Community Programs.
Jess Duncan went on her first g-oz trip to Lockhart River in May this year and found the kids from Lockhart State School so inspiring as they taught her so much about themselves, their culture, their traditions and how important it is to keep them engaged in their education.

Today we celebrate National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day.
On this day all Australians have the opportunity to show their support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, as well as learn about the crucial role that culture, family and community play in the life of every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander child.
@snaicc_national_voice_children CEO and Girls from Oz Board Member Catherine Liddle says, "Our children thrive and their development, wellbeing and safety are best met when they have access to their families, their communities, their country and their culture."

We were thrilled to be recently nominated for a Coca-Cola Australia Foundation Employee Connected grant by Lucy Toulmin, AGC Alumni and a Coca-Cola Europacific Partners employee.
These grants support projects in communities where Coca-Cola Australia employees live, work or have personal connections. Lucy chose to partner with us on the grant, and we were awarded $13,470 in funding which will support the Halls Creek Training and Mentoring Program.
Lucy spent 10 years with the AGC, was a Venue Manager in SA and NSW for five years and has worked on Concerts in Adelaide, Sydney and Canberra over the last ten years.
Lucy’s relationship with g-oz goes way back to when she hosted a Girls from Oz High Tea fundraiser in Adelaide in 2015 as part of an AGC National Tour at The Hewett Centre, where she was Function Coordinator.
