Partnering to develop the Guidelines demonstrates the commitment of COMPPS members to the inclusion of transgender and gender diverse people in sport. The Guidelines provide a significant opportunity for all of those involved in Australian sports—from grassroots participants and clubs to governing bodies—to reflect on how they can facilitate diversity and inclusion. COMPPS encourages all of its members to take active steps to welcome and encourage transgender and gender diverse people to participate in their sports.
