This week on JOY Drive, Jacs Host of Game On joins JOY Drive host Warren Andrew to talk belonging with Luke Heckendorf, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Lead, Macquarie University – Sport.

Luke has extensive experience in diversity and inclusion roles, having worked with Football Australia, Touch Football Australia, and the National Rugby League, is a proud LGBTQ+ ally and passionate about creating accessible, inclusive spaces for everyone.

A proud member of Pride In Sport, Macquarie University – Sport has achieved Platinum Tier status, becoming the first sports organisation in Australia to do so. This recognition has led to the opportunity to undertake the first ever Pride in Sport Platinum Project aimed at uncovering barriers that LGBTQ+ students face when it comes to sport and physical activity on campus. If you identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community, share your voice by completing a short online survey. Your input will help create more inclusive and welcoming spaces for sport and physical activity at university.

Get involved with the Project Platinum Survey and be part of driving positive change on university campuses across Australia. LGBTQ+ Inclusion in Sport link. (Open until December 2025)

There is also to be an updated LGBTQ+ inclusion policy released. Reach out and request a copy of the updated policy.
