Clubs and Organisations supporting women's sport

Exercise is proven to raise energy levels, help improve moods, relieve stress and improve your overall sense of wellbeing. While it can be challenging as a mother to find time to exercise, it’s important to take that time for yourself. Our Women’s Sports Directory is a handy reference to help you explore what exercise works best for you and what options are available – and to find clubs and organisations that support women.

Remember to consult with your doctor or midwife before starting any postnatal exercise program. Here’s some useful information from Better Health to help you get started.
