Projects and Programs to Eliminate Homophobia in Sport

Australia

Since 2014, sporting organisations and Australian Federal Government agencies have been very active in addressing homophobia in sport. This includes initiating and conducting the Out on the Fields Study. Nine national sporting organisations have also committed to eliminate homophobia. Following the release of this study’s findings, seven of those organisations, including Australian Rugby Union, Football Federation Australia, Cricket Australia, Australian Football League and National Rugby League, also agreed to annual measurement and reporting on their progress.

For more information on the Australian programs please see the Pride in Sport page of this website.
