Our Strategic Plan underpins all that we do at Disability Sports Australia. Our vision is for active lives for all Australians with disability.

Undertaking the strategic review last year provided clarity on how we can best support people with disability nationwide.

We recognise that there is opportunity to create more accessibility and inclusion to enable Australians to be more active through sport.

To provide maximum impact, we will continue to engage with our members, the sector, and provide first-class programs and initiatives to support community needs.
