The program aims to support rainbow athletes and allies with driving LGBTQ+ inclusion initiatives within Australian sporting communities to celebrate and empower LGBTQ+ peoples.
In 2025, our athlete ambassadors will look to undertake LGBTQ+ competency education sessions from inclusion experts and work with their chosen sporting organisation to run an LGBTQ+ engagement.
Other opportunities include monthly sessions featuring LGBTQ+ sporting guests and peoples, and the opportunity to be involved in key LGBTQ+ community engagement events.
