Inclusivity Hub

Welcome to the Inclusivity Hub

The Inclusivity Hub provides a range of resources for organisations and individuals wanting to start or progress on their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) learning journey.

Our aim is that the Hub enables you to have conversations, grow knowledge, and collaborate so that together we can ensure no one misses out on the benefits of physical activity—regardless of age, gender, disability, cultural or religious background, or sexual orientation.

What is DEI?

It's important that organisations are committed to being inclusive to all members of their community and actively create safe and welcoming environments in which everyone can fully participate and thrive. We all have a responsibility and role to play in ensuring sport and recreation is inclusive, accessible and representative of Aotearoa New Zealand’s communities.
