Tennis Australia (TA) and TA’s Member Associations (MAs) are committed to providing a safe, welcoming and inclusive sporting environment for everyone regardless of their differences. We are proud to promote equitable opportunities in tennis to ensure all people in Australia, including people who identify as Transgender, Gender Diverse or Non-Binary can participate in tennis without fear of stigmatisation or discrimination.
The purpose of these guidelines is to assist Australian Tennis Organisations (ATOs) that provide community level tennis, referred to as Community Tennis in these Guidelines, to create a sporting environment that actively includes the transgender community. The intent is not to prescribe action or constrain Community Tennis, but rather to inform and educate the entire tennis community. These Guidelines advocate awareness, sensitivity and ultimately actions within Community Tennis to enable individuals to participate in the way that is consistent with their
gender identity.
It is hoped that these guidelines will positively impact the wellbeing and inclusion of the transgender community by raising awareness from grassroots to semi-professional level. These guidelines are intended for the community participation level, and players who participate in any international event (ITF, WTA, and ATP) will continue to comply with the rules and regulations sanctioned by the relevant international body.
