Disability Sports Australia

Who Are We?

Disability Sports Australia (DSA) is one of Australia’s nine (9) National Sporting Organisations for people with a disability (NSODs), all of whom share a common purpose to improve the lives of Australians living with disability using sport as the medium.

Why Do We Do What We Do?

Our vision is: Active lives for all Australians with disability.

Our mission is: To enable more Australians with disability to be more active more often.

At DSA, we aim to connect Australians with disabilities to local active and adaptive opportunities through trusted programs like the National Referral Hub, Activate Inclusion Sports Days, Sports Incubator and Accessibility Champion Certification.

Who Do We Represent?

DSA marshals the efforts of 12 highly committed and active mainly State-based disability sports groups.
