The NSOs are: • AFL • Tennis Australia • Hockey Australia • Touch Football Australia • Netball Australia • UniSport Australia • Rugby Australia • Water Polo Australia In addition, a range of NSOs have also committed to developing trans and gender diverse inclusion frameworks for their sports following the launch, including: • Australian Dragon Boating Federation • Judo Australia • Bowls Australia • Softball Australia • Diving Australia • Squash Australia • Football Federation Australia • Surf Life Saving Australia • Golf Australia • Swimming Australia • Gymnastics Australia • Triathlon Australia After launching their own trans and gender diverse inclusion governance in 2019, Cricket Australia have also committed to supporting other NSOs throughout this process. This initiative, spearheaded by ACON’s Pride in Sport program, Australia’s only program specifically designed to assist sporting organisations with the inclusion of people of diverse sexualities and genders at all levels, was undertaken following the identification of a need for national guidance on how NSOs can be inclusive of trans and gender diverse people.
