Sport that works—for every body.
We build the capability of sport to include people with disability—so everyone can participate, contribute, and belong in the way that’s right for them.
Who We Are
Disability Sports Australia (DSA) is a national sport organisation, non-profit, and registered charity dedicated to empowering people with disability through the power of sport.
We drive equity, build capability, and enable meaningful participation at all levels—from grassroots to elite.
By increasing access to inclusive sport and active recreation, we transform lives, strengthen communities, champion social change, and help build a stronger, more inclusive Australia.
