Get Active
Engaging in sport and physical activity offers significant benefit to people with disability.
At Disability Sports Australia our mission is to ensure that everyone can participate in sport in a way that is meaningful to them.
Whether you’re starting this journey yourself or helping someone you care about, we provide the information and connections you need to get going.
No matter how active you are right now, there are options that will work for you.
This page is designed to give you useful information and links to both mainstream and disability-specific organisations, so you can find sports and activities that fit your needs and interests.
The Get Active page connects you to organisations—not specific programs—so you can find the most current and relevant opportunities.
Find a Sport For You
People with disability should be able to choose how they take part in sport — whether through disability-specific or mainstream pathways. This page will guide you to the National Sport Organisations that best suit your interests. If you notice any information that’s out of date, please let us know.
Disability Specific Pathway
In Australia, there are many ways for people with disability to play sport. We know that some people have more than one disability, so this section is designed to help you find the pathway that works best for you.
This page will guide you to national disability sport organisations — connecting you to opportunities from local participation through to elite competition.
Wheelchair Sports
Disability Sports Australia has a proud history as the birthplace of wheelchair sport in Australia — a legacy shared with our members who helped shape its beginnings.
Today, our focus is on supporting grassroots participation across all disability and sport. This page connects you with national sport organisations and key state members delivering wheelchair sport opportunities from local to elite levels.
