Australian Golf is growing – and
so are we.
At Golf Australia, our purpose is simple: more Australians
playing more golf.
We believe that all golf is golf, and all of us can be
golfers. Whether you’re swinging a club
at a driving range, playing nine holes with friends, putting at mini golf with
family, or dreaming of the Australian Open. We’re here to make sure golf is
fun, welcoming, and accessible for all; and that starts with how we show up as
a team.
We’re proud to be part of Australian Golf’s transformation,
a time of unprecedented growth, innovation, and opportunity. As our game
evolves, so too does our workplace. Through it all, our values shape how we
show up, collaborate, and lead:
-
We Welcome Everyone – Inclusion is at the heart of who we are.
We’re creating a workplace where people from all backgrounds feel they truly
belong.
- We Are Connected – We work as one team, supporting each other
across clubs, communities, and partners to grow the game, and each other.
-
We Are Courageous – We’re not afraid to do things differently.
We challenge the status quo, embrace change, and reimagine what’s possible.
-
We Bring Our Best – Whether we’re delivering a major
championship or helping a local club thrive, we bring care, pride, and purpose
to everything we do.
We work
alongside key industry partners like the PGA of Australia and the WPGA Tour of
Australasia to support player pathways, from local clubs through to elite
competition. We champion places to play, events at every level, and a
high-performance program that helps emerging talent thrive.
At every step, we’re driven by the belief that golf is a
sport for life and there’s a place in it for everyone

Golf, like many sports, hasn’t always felt like a space where everyone sees
themselves, and we know that women and other underrepresented groups often
hesitate to apply unless they meet every single requirement. But at Golf
Australia, we’re committed to changing that.
At Golf Australia, our belief is simple: “All
golf is golf, and all of us can be golfers.” That philosophy extends to our
team too. We’re building an organisation where diverse voices, backgrounds and
perspectives are truly welcomed and where people can bring their whole selves
to the work we do.
That commitment to inclusion also means
creating safe, respectful and supportive spaces. We are dedicated to providing
a safe environment for all employees and participants – including children and
young people – and we expect everyone involved in delivering golf in Australia
to understand their responsibilities when it comes to child safety.
So, if this role excites you, and you feel
you could contribute even if you don’t tick every box, we’d love to hear from
you. Let’s have a conversation. You might be just what we’re looking for.
