Exciting Partnership with Deakin University

Our mission at The Women's Tennis Foundation is to ensure that women and girls are thriving through tennis; to achieve this, players should be able to live in and work in psychologically safe and supportive environments. 

To bring this mission to life, we are delighted to announce that we are partnering with Deakin University to provide support for a landmark national research survey into online harassment of Australian elite athletes competing in women’s sport.

Deakin will host a national workshop in 2023 to share the results of the study with relevant stakeholders who will collaborate to develop solutions and strategies to mitigate the effects of gendered online harassment in women’s sport.

We are inviting players, both those who are currently competing or who have left the professional tour to take part in an anonymous survey to share their experience and have their say. If you would like to contribute to this important research, please click the Survey Link and ensure your voice is heard. (Deakin Ethics Approval ID 2022-313)
