Our Strategic Plan 2025-2028
Our Strategic Plan 2025–2028 sets the direction for how we will strengthen participation in sport for people with disability.
About the Strategic Plan
The Strategic Plan 2025–2028 sets out how we will work with partners across Australia to remove barriers, strengthen capability and increase participation.
It was developed through consultation with DSA members, the Disability Advisory Committee, and partners across the sport sector, and in ongoing dialogue with the Australian Sports Commission.
Our work focuses on four areas: Awareness, Accessibility, Capability and Excellence.
Our Participation Plan
Our Participation Plan 2026–2029 sets out how Disability Sports Australia and its member organisations will deliver on this Strategic Plan with members, aligned with the Australian Sports Commission’s Play Well Participation Strategy.
