Sport that works—for every body.
We work with sport to include people with disability — so everyone can participate, feel valued, and belong in a way that works for them.
Who We Are
Disability Sports Australia (DSA) is a national non-profit and registered charity.
We support people with disability to get involved in sport and active recreation in ways that work for them.
We help make sport fair and inclusive. We build knowledge, grow skills, and support participation at all levels.
When sport is inclusive, everyone benefits. It changes lives, connects communities, and helps create a stronger, fairer Australia.
