Community sport improves our physical and mental health and reduces our risk of chronic disease. But when racism shows up, sport becomes less fun and many stop coming back.
This is why we’re proud to support Set The Standard, VicHealth’s new campaign to prevent and reduce racism in community sport to make it safer, stronger and more welcoming for all Victorians.
Coaches and club leaders can access free tools, training and practical resources to support positive change at every level.
How welcoming is your club?
Community sport is more than a game. It’s where we form friendships, learn teamwork, and shape values. It also helps with physical and mental health throughout our lives.
Sometimes racism happens in sport and undermines the health and wellbeing benefits sport brings.
That’s why sporting clubs are powerful places to set a new standard for making people feel welcome and included.
Do the Set The Standard Club Checklist to see how your club is tracking and discover clear, practical actions you can take to strengthen inclusion and belonging.
