Survey | Women from culturally diverse backgrounds: Understanding your interest in being a leader in sport

CALD Sport Leader Survey.png

There is a large underrepresentation of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) women in leadership positions across multiple sectors. To increase organisational performance, social responsibility, membership and gender equality in the sport sector, there is a need to increase the number of CALD women as leaders. 

Sports leadership roles exist in all levels of sport, from small community clubs to large international organisations. To help create diverse and inclusive workplaces in sport, there is a need to understand what prevents or encourages women from culturally diverse backgrounds to be a leader.

This survey focuses on women from diverse backgrounds who:

  • Want to become sport leaders

  • Are current sport leaders

  • Are not interested in becoming leaders in sport

Does this sound like you? If it does, your input is encouraged and will be combined with hundreds of others. Findings will be transferred into strategies to assist sport organisations become more inclusive.
