Abstract
This article considers how legislation, policy and Guidelines impact on inclusion of children under 12 in competitive sport, when they do not fit into the traditional sporting categories defined by gender and their ability. In 2019 the Australian Human Rights Commission released Guidelines to aid in limiting discrimination of gender diverse people in sport, which challenges the traditional structures of sport, particularly for children under 12. For children with disability, discrimination legislation that provides for adjustments to sporting competition delivery to provide for meaningful inclusion, has not necessarily been successful. Guidelines may provide the solution.
