Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Strategy
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Strategy
Through consultation with clubs across the country, the Advisory group has helped Australian Sailing develop a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Strategy for Sailing for 2025-2028, aimed at driving meaningful change across the sailing community.
Australian Sailing’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Strategy 2025–2028 sets out our commitment to building a more inclusive sailing community where everyone feels welcome, respected and supported.
Our Five Focus Areas
The strategy has five focus areas to achieve the vision and mission. The strategy articulates not only what will be done to achieve the desired outcome but also what success looks like for each of the five focus areas detailed in the Strategy:
