RMIT Sport emphasises an inclusive and accessible environment for all our sports programs and events, working closely with Equitable Learning Services and the Student Equity and Inclusion team to provide sport and recreational opportunities for all students. For enquiries on accessible sport options, email socialsport@rmit.edu.au.
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.
RMIT is proud to support the students and staff within our community who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer/questioning or asexual/agender (LGBTIQ+).
In 2023, RMIT is launching its Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access Framework, which sets out RMIT's aspirations to be 'Inclusive by Design: Everyone, Everywhere, All the Time'. This includes anyone who plays, coaches, works, volunteers or participates in RMIT Sports projects, initiatives and events.
We're looking for Ambassadors who are:
Alongside my studies, I've been involved with the RMIT Hockey Club since moving from NSW in 2017. From knowing no one to having a whole community on my side within months was amazing. In my opinion, visibility is everything so I have been using my platform to get the Hockey Club involved in Pride rounds to acknowledging days such as IDAHOBIT and Pride Week over our social media.
