Pride in Sport is Australia’s first and only sporting inclusion program specifically designed to assist national and state sporting organisations and clubs with the inclusion of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex (LGBTI) employees, players, volunteers and spectators.

The Pride in Sport Index is an initiative of Sport Australia and the Australian Human Rights Commission and a legacy of the Bingham Cup. Following the release of the ‘Out on the Fields’ study in 2015, the largest international study examining homophobia in sport, these organisations commissioned Pride in Diversity to develop a Pride in Sport Index.

The Pride in Sport Index is the first and only benchmarking instrument specifically designed to assess the inclusion of LGBTI people within Australian sport and sporting organisations. Participating in the Index will allow sporting organisations to not only assess their own practice, but determine what constitutes good practice, along with the ability to benchmark their own initiatives against an external measure and other sporting organisations. There is no cost to participate in the index and results are confidential.
