  • National Sporting Organisationscommittolandmark Transandgenderdiverseinclusionmeasures
    MEDIA RELEASE 1 OCTOBER 2020 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NATIONAL SPORTING ORGANISATIONS COMMIT TO LANDMARK TRANS AND GENDER DIVERSE INCLUSION MEASURES In a world first, eight peak sporting bodies have committed to implementing governance that supports a greater level of inclusion for trans and gender diverse people in their sports. At a launch held today at the Sydney Cricket Ground, leading national sporting organisations (NSOs) came together to unveil their policies and guidelines relating to the participation of trans and gender diverse people. 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. Pride in Sport National Program Manager, Beau Newell, said that the joint commitment made by the NSOs marks a major moment in Australian sport. “This launch demonstrates a fundamental shift within Australian sport towards the greater inclusion of trans and gender diverse athletes.
