Nationals Unity Day
UniSport’s commitment to provide a welcoming, inclusive platform is central to our approach to
social inclusion.  
 
We believe in the need for fair and inclusive participation in sport and we view university sport as a
powerful tool to promote inclusion and acceptance, while being an exceptional platform for
student engagement for students of all backgrounds.  
 
Unity Day will take place on Wednesday 30 September 2026 and is a celebration of
inclusivity through sport. We encourage teams to celebrate at their venues across the day
and during the evening at UniFest.
Unity Day Objectives
To unite, celebrate, and support everyone.  
To ensure no voice shall go unheard. 
To make sure all people feel safe and included as we unite to foster an environment of
acceptance and understanding. 
 
On Unity Day we encourage universities, teams and students to engage, connect and participate in
any way they choose. 
Some ideas below: 
 
Visibly participate by wearing clothing/colours relevant to support.  
Supporting and checking in on our people: Think before we speak. Think before we act.
