Benefits of inclusion for communities
Australian Sports Commission is determined to have more Australians participating and excelling in sport, from grass-roots right up to the pinnacle of elite competition.
An inclusive environment at a sporting club can quickly become a hub for the local community. A safe and inclusive place that benefits the community.
Creating this at your club can:
- create sporting clubs that are truly reflective of their community
- meet the growing needs of our dynamic and diverse communities
- embrace and celebrate diverse skills and values that reflect the local community
- contribute to positive physical and mental health in the community
- breakdown social stigmas and barriers
- strengthen a sense of community identity and social connectedness
- provide an opportunity to learn new skills and knowledge
- provide a safe and inclusive support network where all members of the community can bring their best selves.
