Boccia Australia is recognised by BISFed (Boccia International Sports Federation) and the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) as the organisation responsible for Boccia in Australia. The sport made it's debut as a Paralympic sport in 1984. Originally played by athletes with cerebral palsy, Boccia now includes athletes with other disabilities that affect motor skills.
