June 25th, 2026Keeping Racism Out Of Community Sport
Sport brings Victorians together.
It unites communities and should never divide them.
That’s why the state government is backing local sporting clubs to keep racism out of community sport.
Minister Ros Spence has launched the Racism Doesn’t Belong In Our Game campaign to support young athletes and volunteers.
The campaign is designed to increase awareness of racism in community sport and its impact.
It will also focus on making sure more people know where to report racism.
A key feature of the campaign is seven stories from Victorians involved in community sport.
It includes AFL club president Nabil Yassine, Hume Cricket Club’s Avtar Singh and former professional basketballer Sharin Milner, sharing why safety in community sport matters.
The campaign will be delivered by the Centre for Multicultural Youth and CMSport, in partnership with the Victorian Aboriginal Community Services Association Ltd and leading sporting bodies including:
- AFL Victoria
- Basketball Victoria
- Cricket Victoria
- Football Victoria
- Netball Victoria
- NRL Victoria
- Tennis Victoria.
The campaign will be delivered in Melbourne and regional Victoria with educational and digital tools for sporting clubs.
