Welcoming Clubs brings specialist expertise in inclusion, community engagement and systems change across sport, recreation and community settings. We work alongside organisations to understand their communities, identify barriers to participation and belonging, and strengthen the systems, practices and environments that shape people’s experiences.
Our consultancy work combines research and evidence with community insight and practical implementation. From demographic and community analysis through to organisational reviews, inclusive practice frameworks, resource development and strategic advice, we help organisations move beyond good intentions to understand what needs to change, why it matters and how to make it happen.
Our team has delivered consultancy and advisory work with organisations including Tennis Australia, Museums Victoria, the Australian Sports Commission, government, local councils, sporting bodies and community organisations. We bring experience working across grassroots participation, high-performance sport, cultural institutions and public settings, with particular expertise in engaging communities who have traditionally experienced barriers to participation and belonging.
Turn evidence and community insights into practical priorities, action plans and approaches that embed inclusion across organisations and systems.
