Thank you Chris McKenzie & all our friends at Macquarie Group for supporting our Junior Wheelies Christmas Camp. The smiles say it all!
Thank you Taronga Conservation Society Australia & our Major Partner GIO Insurance for a magic night 🏀
Thank you for being with us, let’s do it again soon.
Creating an inclusive workplace breaks down barriers for our employees, customers, and communities. Paralympic wheelchair racer Christie Dawes joined us to share with some of our team her inspirational journey. The event - aligned with today's International Day of People with Disabilities (IDPWD) - including a wheelchair basketball game was a great way to reflect on challenges and opportunities for those of all abilities. Thanks to facilitator John Butcher from Wheelchair Sports NSW/ACT, and our team of wheelchair basketballers. As we foster inclusive leadership capability across teams; an inclusive workplace culture; and build a diverse workforce, we strive to raise awareness and make a difference.

Happy International Day of People with Disability to our 1,700+ Wheelchair Sports NSW/ACT Members across NSW/ACT. As the Governing Body for our sports, we’re committed to growing Wheelchair Sport to even greater heights in 2025, delivering the quality of sport people with disabilities deserve.
On International Day of People with Disability 2024, we encourage key members of the Australian sports community to join in the reimagination of Adaptive Sport in this country. 1) We must use an evidence-based approach to understand how to grow participation for people with disabilities in sport. 2) We must codify self-direction for people with disabilities into the Australian sports system. 3) We must consider the format of each Adaptive Sport and use the appropriate Delivery Model that can sustainably grow participation numbers. We have an incredible opportunity to change the game for people with disabilities in sport, and we’re ready to play our part. Australian Sports Commission Office of Sport
We have a moment in time to pause and reimagine the Adaptive Sports System in Australia.
Thanks to everyone who came to the lunch & supported the future of Wheelchair Sport in NSW/ACT
