Breaking Barriers to Local Sport

Everyone deserves the chance to play local sport. In 2025 we worked with local clubs to start modified sports for people with a disability or mobility limits. The project, Breaking Barriers, was funded through the Play Well grants by the Australian Sports Commission.
