Australian Sporting Alliance for People with a Disability (ASAPD)
Non-profit Organizations
Here to collaborate, advocate and facilitate inclusive sport and physical activity for Australians with a disability.
About us
Our aim is to create a world where Australians with a disability can participate in sports at all levels, without barriers or borders. From grassroot level to high-performance, we strive to provide safe and inclusive environments where everyone can participate, learn, and grow. Working with Australia's National Sporting Organisations for People with Disability (NSODs), we exist to create ‘one voice’, a unified voice that represents the broader Australian sport and physical activity sectors, and advocates for greater awareness and greater inclusion for people the ASAPD members represent. ACNC registered.
