When you give to Paralympics Australia you will help transform lives through the power of sport

At Paralympics Australia, we help Australians with disabilities participate in sport and compete at the Paralympic Games. We exist to lead Paralympic sport and create a more inclusive world. Our vision is to create the most successful era of Paralympic sport in Australia’s history.

We are responsible for preparing the Australian Paralympic Summer and Winter Teams for the Paralympic Games, which we have done successfully since 1990. In addition to selecting and managing the Australian Paralympic Teams for Summer and Winter Paralympic Games, Paralympics Australia also manages the high performance programs for Powerlifting and Wheelchair Rugby.

Through the support of our donors we do so much more than send the Australian Team to the Paralympic Games. Your support gives the 20% of Australians with a disability a chance to shine through sports and community programs. Your support will:

• Change perceptions by normalising disability and creating a more inclusive Australia
• Educate through our curriculum-based schools program that inspires, informs and challenges Australian students
• Innovate and develop better, more accessible equipment so that everyone with a disability has the chance to participate in Para-sport and do their best
• Identify and develop the next generation of Para-athletes so that they can excel on the world stage
• Create and run sports and community programs that enable more people with impairments to discover and affirm their capability.

We believe participation in sport provides positive social and physical benefits to people with disabilities, and plays an important role in changing community perceptions of people with disabilities.

At the heart of what we do is our athletes, who strive to compete at an elite level, upholding the ideals of the Paralympic movement.
