Our signature program

Rainbow Ready

The Rainbow Ready suite is our comprehensive framework for transforming Australian communities to provide a clear pathway to be more inclusive of LGBTQIA+ folks.

Who it's for

Community sporting clubs, associations, peak bodies, leisure facilities, and gyms.

We provide tailored roadmaps for four distinct sectors. Each one starts where you are — a grassroots club, a state association, a council leisure centre, a commercial gym — and moves at a pace your organisation can actually sustain.
