Football Australia has thrown its support behind Federal, State, and Territory Government COVID-19 vaccination campaigns with the launch of its ‘#VaxxedToBeBack’ initiative featuring representatives from across Australia’s large, diverse, and multicultural football family. This comes off the back of Football NSW's Vaccination campaign that was headlined in August this year encouraging the Football family to get vaccinated. Football Australia’s #VaxxedToBeBack initiative – which is being conducted in concert with all nine (9) Member Federations across the nation – seeks to encourage members of Australia’s broad football community to share the reasons why they’ve been vaccinated as Australia strives to emerge from the global pandemic.

Football NSW celebrates an amazing milestone today as we pay homage to 100 years of Australian Women’s Football. Warm messages from some leading Female ambassadors in NSW such as NSW Minister for Sport The Hon @nataliewardmlc, NSW Minister for Women @bronnie.taylor MLC, Football NSW Deputy Chair Fiona Lang, Football NSW Director Stephanie Brantz, @sdsfafootball Technical Director for Women @cannuli13, Football NSW Institute coach Lisa Warrener and @manlyunitedfootballclub Technical Director for Women Sharon Eggar all took part in the special video message.

This year the message is: Are they really OK? Ask them today. 2021 has been a challenging year for most of our community, and even though times have been tough we’re still grateful for some small pleasures like our football – but also family, friends and loved ones. Life’s ups and downs happen to all of us. So chances are someone you know might be struggling. Your genuine support can make a difference whatever they are facing, big or small. So, don’t wait until someone’s visibly distressed or in crisis. Make a moment meaningful and ask them how they’re really going. Are they really OK? Ask them today. Your conversation could change a life. Use these four steps and have a conversation that could change a life: 1. Ask R U OK? 2. Listen 3. Encourage action 4. Check in
