Our aim is that tennis reflects Australia’s diverse communities and people, so everyone has the opportunity to get involved in tennis in a way that is meaningful for them. We believe that diversity is a strength and inclusion is a human right.

If you would like to learn more about tennis for players of differing abilities, please contact inclusion@tennis.com.au.

How we can help

• Provide opportunities for people from underrepresented to be involved and participate in tennis, including but not limited to people with disabilities, Indigenous Australians, multicultural communities and LGBTQ+ communities
• Make available a variety of tennis playing options at all levels from a recreational to competitive level, from local to elite international standards
• Provide advice, information, guidance, support and resources for all clubs and communities that want to become inclusive to people from underrepresented groups
• Promote tennis for people from underrepresented groups in all areas of the community
• Provide access to opportunities aligned to those offered to mainstream tennis players
• Encourage tennis clubs and associations to undertake or to be involved in inclusive programs for people from underrepresented groups
• Provide greater support to encourage people from underrepresented groups to take on roles across the whole of the sport, including as players, coaches, administrators and officials
