Have Your Say: National Disability Sport Action Plan Survey

Everyone should have the chance to enjoy sport in a safe, welcoming, and fun environment.

The Australian Sports Commission and the University of Queensland are creating a National Disability Sport Action Plan, and they want to hear from you.

Whether you are a person with disability, a family member, carer, coach, volunteer, part of a sporting club, or simply interested in sport, your experiences matter. Even if you have never been involved in sport before, your feedback is valuable.

Your feedback will help identify:
• what is working well
• what makes it harder for people to take part
• what needs to change so everyone feels welcome in sport.

You can help by:
• completing the anonymous survey
• sharing the survey with your sporting clubs, disability groups, family, friends, and community networks.

Have your say and help shape the future of disability sport in Australia.

Take the survey here:

In collaboration with the Australian Sports Commission, The University of Queensland is conducting a project to better understand the current state of disability and sport in Australia and to develop an Action Plan and recommendations to support and enhance the disability and sport system.
