LGBTQ+ Sports Club Directory

Find Your Team, Find Your Community

Joining an LGBTQ+ sports club is about so much more than sport—it’s about community, inclusion, and creating safe spaces where everyone can thrive. Whether you’re looking to get active, expand your social circle, or simply feel a greater sense of belonging, these clubs provide opportunities for people of all fitness levels, genders, and sexualities to connect and participate.

This directory, established in partnership with ACON and thanks to the Emen8 initiative, is one of the most extensive lists of LGBTQ+ sports clubs across Australia. With clubs spanning a wide range of sports and activities, you’ll find plenty of options to get involved—no matter where you are or what your skill level is.

For more inspiration and insights, check out our friends at Emen8 and their guide to the benefits of joining an LGBTQ+ sports club here.

Pride in Sport Index (PSI) Community Submissions

We encourage all community sporting clubs to participate in the Pride in Sport Index (PSI) community submissions. This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the efforts and level of LGBTQ inclusivity within your club. By taking part, you can help set a benchmark for inclusivity in sports and inspire others to enhance their efforts as well.
