The UWA Sport LGBTQIA+ Allyship in Sport Program aims to influence and create safe, welcoming and inclusive sporting environments for the LGBTQIA+ community.

In partnership with Pride in Sport, the LGBTQIA+ Allyship in Sport Program supports UWA Sport affiliated clubs on their journey to improve LGBTQIA+ inclusive practices and provide training to a nominated Club Ally.

Each club's nominated Club Ally will act as a leader for the development and support of LGBTQIA+ inclusion within their club. 

Program aims:

• Create an established LGBTQIA+ Allyship in Sport program embedded within UWA Sport and Affiliated clubs.
• Increased awareness and support for issues impacting LGBTQIA+ individuals within UWA Sport-affiliated clubs.
• UWA Sport affiliated clubs to have one identified Ally within their club at the end of the LGBTQIA+ Allyship Pilot Program.
• To develop and host a visible network of sporting clubs and organizations working towards LGBTQIA+ Inclusion and active Allyship.

The program is funded through the YACWA (Youth Advisory Council of WA) LGBTQIA+ Youth Empowerment Grant.
