About MASPORTS VIC Club

Multicultural Active Sports Victoria (MASPORTS VIC) is a club developed and supported by the centre for migrant and refugee health to actively engage migrants, refugees and people seeking asylum sports activities to boost their mental, and physical health.

Migrants, refugees, and people seeking asylum face barriers to involve in sport activities. There are insufficient sports programs that accommodate and cater for the needs of the culturally linguistically diverse (CALD) group or multicultural community from migrants, refugees and people seeking asylum. Furthermore, inequity and inequalities such as socioeconomic status, social isolation and financial challenges make it difficult for CALD or multicultural communities to participate in the Australian sports activities.

However, sports involvement has been touted as a way of helping forced migrants, refugees and people seeking asylum integrate into their host communities. So, CMRH supports MASPORTS VIC Club to provide vibrant programs, and sports initiatives that recognises the value of sports in helping people from multicultural backgrounds to adjust to life in Australia.

MASPORTS VIC Club program initiatives are ethno-centric sports providing opportunities that can impact forced migrants’ sense of belonging to multiple groups at one time and influence their sports and/or physical activity inclusion and participation in Australian clubs.

The program initiatives strategically promoting mental, physical health and wellbeing to help migrants, refugees and people seeking asylum to recover from traumatic experiences.
