This Girl Can

Council is partnering with VicHealth to celebrate the This Girl Can campaign across Maribyrnong, with our very own version of the program – Maribyrnong Girls Can – specifically designed to engage our community of women.

This initiative aims to empower and inspire women of all ages and fitness levels to engage in physical activity and participate in a variety of health and wellbeing programs.

Maribyrnong Girls Can is an inclusive program that welcomes all who identify as women, regardless of background or ability.

Maribyrnong Girls Can Week

In 2024, there were 19 free programs as part of Maribyrnong Girls Can. Participants chose from a diverse line-up of programs including Introduction to AFL, Golf, RPM/Spin Class, Walking Football, KangaMix, Muay Thai for Women and Women's Swimming Night. 

Maribyrnong Girls Can encourages women to bring friends and participate together, fostering a supportive community atmosphere. By breaking down barriers to participation, we aim to inspire all women to embrace physical activity and enhance their health and wellbeing. 

The 2025 Maribyrnong Girls Can week is planned for the end of October. More details will be available on this webpage closer to the date.
