About
Sports CONNECT, a national framework coordinated by the Disability Sport Unit, encompasses a range of initiatives to increase the number of people with disabilities involved in sport and physical recreation. The Disability Sport Unit coordinates a network of agencies around the country that are working to connect sporting organisations with disability service organisations to build sustainable and inclusive communities.
The Disability Sport Network is working towards a common goal and a national framework:
The Disability Sport Unit works to:
- provide direct practical assistance to national sports organisations to assist them with the inclusion of people with disabilities in both disability and non-disability specific sport
- coordinate and assist the Disability Sport Network in connecting sport and people with disabilities
