Multicultural Communities
Australian Sailing is committed to embracing diversity by ensuring our sport and events are welcoming, safe and inclusive for everyone. We believe that being inclusive is reflecting the diversity of our local communities and that everyone should have the opportunity to be included and engaged through sailing in a way that is positive and meaningful for them regardless of culture, ethnicity, or any other defining characteristic.
Inclusion is about providing choice for people to participate in sport in a way that they feel comfortable.
