Inclusive Gymnastics

Gymnastics WA recognises the importance of making gymnastics more accessible to the diverse needs of our changing population. According to 2016 ABS Census data about Western Australia, 18% of people spoke a language other than English at home, 32.2% of people are born overseas, more than 362,700 Western Australians identify as having a disability and 3.1% of the population identify as having Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander heritage. Our communities are continually evolving and so too must our sport and the environments in which it operates.
Gymnastics WA aims to increase participation of Western Australia’s diverse population by implementing practical strategies to make environments fair, safe and inclusive for all.

Gymnastics WA have developed this Inclusion Policy to support and facilitate an inclusive environment that embraces diversity. Gymnastics WA is committed to ensuring that the principles in this policy are implemented to reflect inclusive practices across all areas of the sport.

Inclusion in KinderGym

Developed in collaboration with Inclusion Solutions with the support of Sport Australia, this important resource seeks to ensure all children, particularly those most marginalised, have access and can participate in KinderGym. The handbook provides important and valuable resources for clubs and coaches alike, to assist in their understanding of inclusion and its importance, how to ensure classes are inclusive and provide opportunities for all to be involved and useful tips for understanding their wider community.
