Mulvogue has been a dedicated volunteer of the Collingwood Park Power AFC in Queensland since 2017.

According to their members, Mulvogue ‘keeps the club running’ and makes sure all kids can get out and play footy. She supports the club as a coach, Auskick coordinator, canteen worker, accredited ground marshal, umpire, team runner, social media manager and club fundraiser. She’s often the first one to arrive and the last to leave.

Mulvogue has helped grow AFL numbers in a rugby league heartland tenfold, particularly in women and girl’s footy where numbers have doubled and new teams have emerged.

She also facilitated the club’s first Under 13 team in 25 years. Furthermore, she’s passionate about ensuring children with disabilities have opportunities to participate, help her with coaching and run drills.

Mulvogue also coordinates the Power's annual Indigenous Round, which is a chance to celebrate the clubs’ heritage and acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander players. She even helps coach the opposition teams and encourages players to demonstrate respect and sportsmanship, which is often praised by parents on both sides.

Behind the scenes, Mulvogue funds club fees and carnival costs for kids who can’t afford to pay out of her own pocket.
