We’re proud to share some exciting news: the Port Melbourne Chargers Women’s Football Club has signed a groundbreaking three-year Foundation Partnership with leading Melbourne-based property group, Salta.
This landmark partnership is a major boost for women’s sport and community leadership in Port Melbourne. It represents a powerful alignment of values—a shared commitment to gender equity, grassroots development, and meaningful community impact. As a proudly independent, Melbourne-grown business with over 55 years of experience, Salta is backing our club from day one. Together, we’re ready to empower the next generation of women in sport, leadership, and beyond.
“At the core of our club is wanting to develop skills on and off the field. We want girls and young women of all ages to know their strengths and to learn how to use these as they mature into strong, independent, and smart women — or even recreate their dreams through knowledge,” said Tara Goss, Sponsorship Lead at PMCWFC.
“This partnership will offer the necessary support and development for more enriched educational and career exposure, and by partnering with a strong, influential company like Salta, we can truly cement our vision for the Port Melbourne Chargers and make it a reality together.”
As our Foundation Partner, Salta will be proudly featured on our playing jumpers, with co-
branded merchandise and we look forward to sharing stories that celebrate our shared values.
Together, we’re committed to delivering a range of impactful initiatives that will empower and enable more girls and young women to thrive—in sport, in leadership, and in life.
Through a series of targeted events, leadership workshops, mentoring programs, volunteering pathways, and networking opportunities, we aim to foster confidence, connection, and career development. This partnership is about opening doors—on the field and beyond—and creating tangible pathways for the next generation of women to lead with purpose.
At the Port Melbourne Chargers, we’re building more than football teams—we’re creating a purpose-driven program that supports women and girls from grassroots right through to senior football, VFL pathways and beyond. We are deeply committed to fostering player development, confidence, and leadership through sport — while also broadening horizons beyond football, into education and career empowerment. Creating opportunities to grow, lead, and thrive—in sport and in life.
Sam Tarascio, Managing Director of Salta, is proud to be able to support the Chargers over the next three years, while also creating pathways for the next generation of athletes to thrive, both on and off the field.
"We are thrilled to partner with the Port Melbourne Chargers Women’s Football Club as a foundation partner. The club’s passion, leadership, and commitment to excellence mirror our own values at Salta, and together I am confident we will be able to deliver lasting, enduring value for the young women,” said Tarascio.
“Together, over the next three years, we look forward to helping drive growth in women’s football and championing equality and opportunity within the sporting landscape but also beyond."
Kerry Ashbrook, President of Port Melbourne Chargers, added: “We’re proud that Salta has chosen to stand with us as a catalyst for change. They share our vision and commitment to elevating women, building legacy, and creating lasting impact. As our Foundation Partner, we now have a powerful platform to bring this vision to life—setting a new benchmark for what’s possible when community, leadership and purpose come together”.
As the club continues to grow, this partnership marks a defining chapter in building visibility, equity, and opportunity for women in sport.
