Strategic Plan
The Disability Sports Australia Strategic Plan 2023-26
is a bold roadmap that outlines the organisation’s vision of
enabling more active lives for all Australians with disability.
Message from the Chair and General Manager
Dr Phil Hamdorf
Ayden Shaw
Our Strategic Plan is the result of a process throughout 2023 involving the Disability Sports Australia Board and staff, as we reimagined how the organisation can support our vision of more people with disability active more often.
This process has helped us to redefine our purpose, values and develop strategic alignment with our various initiatives.
We recognise that there is a great opportunity to create more inclusive and accessible environments and deliver high quality programs and services that meet the needs of our community over the coming years.
We look forward to working with the sector to collaborate and coordinate our efforts to maximise our impact and reach with this plan as our guide.
