Inclusive Sport Handbook

The Inclusive Sport Handbook is for anyone at RMIT University involved in sport, whether a club leader, participant, spectator, coach or competitive athlete. 

Creating inclusive spaces and events is a display of ally-ship that affirms that all individuals have a right to participate in sport.

Become an RMIT Active Inclusion Ambassador

We're looking for Ambassadors who are:

  • Current RMIT students (must have min. 12 months remaining in your studies)
  • Passionate about LGBTIQ+ inclusion in sport
  • Currently involved in RMIT Active
  • Keen to represent RMIT Active celebrating significant dates of diversity and inclusion.
What makes this round truly meaningful in my opinion is how it goes beyond just being a fun, welcoming event. It really drives home the message that pride in sport and being an ally are crucial parts of our community. It reminds all of us in UniLax that our support and inclusivity can make a huge difference in how our sport welcomes, celebrates and brings people together.

Above quote from Claude Whittaker, RMIT student and competitor from the Lacrosse UniLax Pride Round. Listen to Claude talk about their experiences episode 16 of the Redbacks podcast.
