“At first I would only come to school when Girls from Oz were at school. It then drew me to come into school and participate in my classes, helped me build my attendance up really well. g-oz played a large part in that. I don't think I would have graduated, or I don't know, attended school if it wasn't for g-oz.” – Sophia, g-oz Halls Creek alumni
Girls from Oz (g-oz) is committed to strengthening the wellbeing and future pathways of girls living in remote Australia. Through the transformative power of the performing arts, we help young people build confidence, develop new skills and expand their educational and employment horizons.
Working in close collaboration with local schools, we provide otherwise inaccessible opportunities that support girls to stay engaged in school, feel empowered in their identity and take pride in their potential. Our g-oz Community and Travel Programs use performing arts as a catalyst for personal growth and ambition – meeting girls where they are and walking alongside them as they flourish.
For as little as $30, you can give one girl access to a week-long, in-school performing arts intensive, delivered each term by our experienced team.

We receive no government funding – our programs are made possible by the generosity of our dedicated supporter network of individuals; and our corporate and philanthropic partners.
Since 2009 we have delivered over 200 Community Programs and 21 Travel Programs, engaging more than 3000 girls who have reaped the personal and professional benefits of our tailored and inclusive programming.
