PROGRAMS ACROSS AUSTRALIA

Our Initiatives

Disability Sports Australia delivers initiatives across the country that create opportunities for people with disability to participate in sport in ways that suit them. From come-and-try events to national awareness campaigns, our work helps people with disability get active and connect with sport in their community.

Logo for Abilities Unleashed Australia. The design features three stylised human figures in dark and light green shades, each engaging in different activities: one holding a fishing rod, one in a wheelchair holding a ring overhead, and one with swim goggles also holding a ring. Below the figures is a dark green curved banner with the words “Abilities Unleashed” in bold white text, and the word “Australia” underneath in green. The logo visually represents inclusive sport and recreation.
