Kirrily Phillips

Kirrily Phillips, a proud Gumbaynggirr woman whose passion for sport, culture, and community is changing the game, literally. Growing up playing football (soccer) as a young Koori girl, Kirrily rarely saw her culture reflected on the field. That experience inspired Jiinda Magic, a First Nations women’s football team celebrating cultural pride, mental health, and empowerment.

Balancing motherhood, being a semi-professional athlete, Oral Health Clinical Supervisor at UQ, and dedicated mentor, Kirrily is creating culturally safe spaces where First Nations women feel proud, strong, and supported to succeed, on and off the pitch.
Her vision is bold, her impact is deep, and her legacy is growing. Kirrily Phillips leads with heart, purpose, and impact.
