DREAMD IS BUILDING A FUTURE WHERE YOUNG WOMEN FROM REMOTE AUSTRALIA SUCCEED IN EVERY ARENA OF LIFE, AND PAY IT FORWARD TO INSPIRE GENERATIONS
DREAMD Academy is a not-for-profit organisation, dedicated to inspiring dreams in young women from remote Central Australia by utilising sport as a powerful pathway. We provide essential resources and clear pathways through programs focused on football, education, and leadership, enabling these young women to actively chase their aspirations. Crucially, DREAMD Academy surrounds these women with supportive leaders and role models who help them build confidence, resilience, and purpose. Ultimately, we aim to create a ripple effect of empowerment, where one woman's growth sparks opportunities and inspires her to lead within her own community.
PARTNERS
Who are the Redtails Pinktails Right Tracks Foundation?
DREAMD Academy is proudly partnered with the Redtails Pinktails Right Tracks Foundation (RPTails) to serve Central Australia's disadvantaged youth.
Established in 2014, RPTails runs year-round football programs that provide young men (Redtails) and women (Pinktails) with essential pathways to SANFL, employment, and health education, fostering an ambitious and caring community.
​
The partnership began when DREAMD Founder, Lulu Pullar, spent her off-season training with the Pinktails, witnessing their powerful community impact firsthand. Now a Pinktail member, Lulu created DREAMD Academy to specifically support the Pinktails, granting them further access educational, sporting and professional opportunities and industries.
How we partner with them
We don't just collaborate; we empower local leadership through Redtails Pinktails Right Tracks Foundation. Our programs are designed, driven, and owned by the community.

FOUNDER
About • Lulu Pullar
Dr. Lulu Pullar has always been driven by curiosity, courage, and a deep desire to create change. From being the first girl to join an all-boys soccer team, to rising through the ranks of the AFLW, Lulu has spent her life breaking barriers and building pathways for others to follow.
As a doctor, she took that same spirit to Alice Springs, working in the emergency department. What she witnessed there changed her life. The stark reality of disadvantage, domestic violence, and intergenerational trauma that too often defines life in remote communities.
