WA is Australia’s most multicultural state with 27% of the population born overseas.
Research suggests that people born in mainly English speaking countries have the highest participation rate in organised physical activity such as local and state sporting clubs(69 per cent), compared with only 50 per cent of people born overseas. Many culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) groups and individuals, however, participate in sport mainly at a social level – for example, at schools, in local parks, with youth groups, after school and with family and friends from their communities. When comparing structured sports to social physical activity, participation rates by CaLD people are relatively lower than people born in Australia.
There is great potential for sporting associations and clubs to expand their membership by encouraging people of diverse backgrounds to join and participate.
