Proud 2 Play is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to increasing LGBTQIA+ engagement in sport, exercise, and active recreation. We work across all levels of the sporting community—from individual participants and grassroots clubs to state and national sporting organisations—through education, implementing inclusive policies, and running events.

Our work goes beyond participation; we actively tackle discrimination in sport by advocating for systemic change, supporting organisations in creating safe and welcoming environments, and addressing barriers that prevent LGBTQIA+ people from engaging in sport. We also provide direct support to individuals, ensuring they have the guidance, resources, and pathways to participate in ways that feel safe and affirming.

We believe that the physical, mental, and social benefits of sport should be accessible to everyone, including players, volunteers, coaches, and officials. By fostering inclusive and supportive sporting spaces, we empower LGBTQIA+ individuals, along with their allies, friends, and families, to fully engage in sport and recreation.

Engagement is not limited to just actively participating in sport; the physical, mental and social benefits of sport should be experienced by active participants, volunteers, coaches and officials.
