Inclusive Sports

More wins on the board for inclusion

Sport is a source of joy and connection in communities across Australia.

Accessible sports programs, Paralympic sports and inclusive leagues showcase the talents and achievements of people living with injury, illness and disability.

These team activities play a significant role in creating a welcoming and inclusive social environment, strengthening social and life skills for all involved.

Inclusive sports help people of all abilities get out and about in the community, improving individual wellbeing.

APM sponsor several inclusive grassroots, state and national sports teams and leagues which bring together players, fans and organisers from all backgrounds.
