Pride Cup is changing culture through sport to make LGBTIQ+ people feel safe, welcome and accepted. With 80% of Australians witnessing or experiencing homophobia in sport, the need for change is urgent. 

Through LGBTIQ+ inclusion education and vibrant, rainbow-themed Pride Game events, Pride Cup helps sporting clubs and leagues — from grassroots to elite — become leaders for inclusion in their communities.

Clubs that take part in a Pride Cup event see 40–50% less homophobic behaviour, according to an evaluation by Monash University. With over 800 clubs across 28 sports already involved, Pride Cup is building a safer, more inclusive future for all.

Sport4All is a multi-award-winning national program dedicated to making grassroots sport more inclusive for people with disability.

The program supports local sporting clubs, schools, and communities to embrace diversity and build real opportunities, helping them develop the curiosity, skills, and confidence to include people with disability when, where, and how they choose.

At the heart of Sport4All is a community-based approach, local councils are partnered with their own Inclusion Coach, who works closely with clubs and schools to drive positive, practical change at the local level.

Sport4All was developed through a collaboration between the Australian Government, the Australian Sports Commission, and Get Skilled Access — the consultancy founded by former Australian of the Year, Dylan Alcott AO.

Sport4All is led and informed by people with disability and lived experience — making it a program built on insight, authenticity, and the belief that sport should be for everyone.

Disability Sports Australia is a national not-for-profit and registered charity working to improve opportunities for people with disability to be involved in sport in the way they choose.

We build the capability of the sport sector to remove barriers and create environments where people with disability can participate meaningfully — on and off the field.

Through programs, partnerships, and practical tools, we work with clubs, schools, governments, and sporting bodies to strengthen inclusion from grassroots to system level.

Our work is informed by people with lived experience and focused on creating long-term change — so that every person with disability can find their place in sport.
