Active lives for all Australian’s with disability
We empower people with disability to choose how they participate in sport.
Disability Sports Australia is committed to driving equity, building capability, and enabling participation at every level—from grassroots to elite.
By increasing access to sport, we transform lives, champion social change, and ensure the life-changing benefits of sport create a stronger, more inclusive society.
Did You Know?
Only 25% of Australian adults with disability participate in sport or physical activity at least once a week, compared to much higher rates among those without disability.
Barriers like cost, transportation, and lack of accessibility prevent many from experiencing the transformative benefits of sport.
Imagine a future where every Australian with disability experiences the transformative power of sport. At Disability Sports Austral
