Multicultural tennis
A place where every culture and community can play, connect and belong.
Why it matters
Australia is home to people from more than 200 cultural backgrounds – and tennis should reflect that. Inclusion means more than access. It’s about creating safe, welcoming spaces where everyone feels respected and able to take part – as players, coaches, volunteers or fans.
Our commitment in action
Tennis Australia works with Member Associations, clubs and community leaders to:
- build relationships with multicultural communities
- support inclusive events and tournaments
- provide training and resources for clubs and coaches
- share stories that reflect the people in our sport.
