A dedicated LGBTQ sends a positive message that your club is open, fun and inclusive of LGBTQ people.... Check out this page developed for #PrideInSport member, Judo NSW.

16.01.2022 DON'T MISS THIS... Every person in Australia has a fundamental right to participate in sport. Trans and gender diverse people live, work and play sport in every town and city in Australia. Although community understanding and attitudes toward trans people have improved, research tells us that not only is sport still seen as a hostile and unwelcoming place, inclusive policies do make a significant and positive difference to the culture of sports clubs and to those who part...icipate within them. The recent announcement by several national sporting bodies on the guidance of trans inclusion demonstrates a fundamental shift within Australian sport towards making sure that sport is welcoming to everyone no matter who you are. This panel will explore the highs and lows of trans participation in sport, what’s next on the agenda for governing bodies, and how to engage and educate those who are naïve or ill-informed on trans inclusion in sport. - 1 Full Day of dedicated LGBTQ inclusion in sport sessions - 100% online - Open to global participants - Hear about national, state and grass roots initiatives WHEN: Wednesday 2 December 2020 Download Program and Purchase Tickets at - www.prideinsport.com.au/conference #PrideInSport #PrideInPractice

11.01.2022 Today is R U OK Day. Life can be challenging, and we all need support during times of grief, loss, relationship breakdown and when were under work or financial pressure. On top of this, people who are LGBTQ and sexuality, gender and bodily diverse might be subject to minority stress, prejudice, discrimination, violence or abuse. To add to many of these stresses, we are all currently in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic.... The support of friends, family, peers and allies can make a difference when someone is dealing with challenges like these. A simple way to provide support is by genuinely asking, Are you OK?
