We are really proud that over 85% of our current team identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. We are always on the lookout for superstars to join our team and we advertise all of our current job openings at https://shootingstars.com.au/career-opportunities. Whilst we highly encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to apply, we welcome anyone who is passionate about empowering Aboriginal girls and women and interested in working with us to get in touch.  

If there isn’t a job going in your area or if you’re really interested in joining the team, please email us at info@shootingstars.org.au with your name, resume and what you’re interested in and a team member will be in touch!

Glass Jar Australia receives funding to deliver the Shooting Stars program across Western and South Australia. With every new site, additional funding is required. 

If you’re a school staff member/principal and are interested in exploring having the Shooting Stars program at your school, please email info@shootingstars.org.au with your specific location and school, number of potential participants, year groups and whether you already have funding to run this program or not.  

Unfortunately Shooting Stars is not in a position to assist individuals with funding/scholarships due to funding constraints. 

The below organisations may be able to assist with individual funding: 

Sport Australia is the Australian Government body responsible for the delivery of funding and development of Australian sport. https://www.sportaus.gov.au/grants_and_funding 

The Aurora Foundation has a database of scholarships available for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students across Australia: https://aurorafoundation.com.au/our-work/indigenous-pathways-portal/ 

The Madalah Foundation provides scholarships for Indigenous students to attend Western Australia’s leading boarding schools and Australian universities: https://madalah.com.au/  

We love keeping in touch with our Shooting Stars alumnae and support them wherever we can, however the Shooting Stars program currently only works with young girls and women within a school environment in years 3 to 12. Our pathways program provides our girls with the tools needed post their year 12 schooling, however at this point in time we do not have any plans to work with women outside the scope of our current in-school programs.  

The Shooting Stars program is focused on providing support to Aboriginal girls and women. There are alternate programs in place for Aboriginal boys/men.
