Girls from Oz (g-oz) is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to enhancing educational and employment pathways and the overall wellbeing of girls and young women in remote Australia.
Our programs use the reputable, evidence-based performing arts engagement model as developed by the Australian School of Performing Arts over the past 40 years to engage and re-engage individuals in their schooling.
We are committed to breaking the cycle of disadvantage experienced by First Nations youth in collaboration with them and their communities.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GIRLS FROM OZ!!! 🎉
Today marks 17 years of g-oz supporting and advocating for the education, empowerment and success of girls and young women in remote Australia.
Thank you to everyone who has helped us along the way - we couldn`t have made it to 17 years without you!
‘When Girls from Oz Founders started shaping this, now 17 year old, organisation, we had no concept of just how many lives would be positively impacted by our dreams and ideas. We knew that we wanted to provide life changing opportunities to girls who couldn’t otherwise access high quality performing arts education, what we now celebrate is something much more nuanced and far reaching.` – Nicole Muir AM, g-oz Chair

It`s International Day of the Girl Child!
Today we recognise the rights of girls worldwide as well as the unique challenges that they face.
This year`s theme is `Girls` vision for the future` ✨
‘Today’s generation of girls is disproportionately affected by global crises of climate, conflict, poverty and pushback on hard won gains for human rights and gender equality...With the right support, resources and opportunities, the potential of the world’s more than 1.1 billion girls is limitless. And when girls lead, the impact is immediate and wide reaching: families, communities and economies are all stronger, our future brighter.
It is time to listen to girls, to invest in proven solutions that will accelerate progress towards a future in which every girl can fulfil her potential.’ - @unitednations
Let`s make this vision a reality!
Give the gift of a brighter future and invest in the next generation of women today.
