Accessibility Champion

This free online course gives clubs and providers the practical knowledge to create welcoming and accessible environments.

What is the Accessibility Champion Course?

The Accesibility Champion Course is a free, online program designed for community sport clubs and leisure providers. It teaches the basics of accessibility and helps make places more welcoming for people with disability.

This course focuses on simple, practical actions that create more welcoming environments and supporting ongoing participation.

It helps people feel more confident to talk about disability and include people with disability in local programs, clubs and activities.

By starting with the basics, the course raises awareness of disability sport and leisure. It encourages friendly, inclusive spaces so that everyone has a good experience. It also helps create more chances for people with disability to join sport and recreation across Australia.
