We're thrilled to see a new Wheelchair Sports organisation launch in Victoria today. As fellow members of Wheelchair Sports Australia, the team from Wheelchair Sports Victoria will support Specialist Wheelchair Sports Clubs to deliver excellent sporting experiences for people with disabilities across their State.

We are Wheelchair Sports Victoria, the state arm of Wheelchair Sports Australia.

WSV like our sister organisation, Wheelchair Sports NSW / ACT exists to support grassroots wheelchair sports across our State.

With particular emphasis on Wheelchair AFL, Wheelchair Basketball, Wheelchair Tennis and Para-athletics, WSV will work with sporting organisations, clubs, schools, communities and wheelchair users to build a stronger and more connected wheelchair sporting system across the state and provide a strong base competition pathways in wheelchair sports.

Managed by Leisure Networks, CEO David Meade explains, “Unlike NSW, Victoria doesn’t have an overarching wheelchair sports pathway model supported by a single strong base organisation, WSV changes that.

”We will build opportunities around people, bring wheelchair sport into more communities and make the pathway into participation welcoming, visible and easy to navigate,” says David.

Head of Wheelchair Sports Australia, CEO Mick Garnett believes Victoria has a unique window of opportunity, “Today marks six years until the Paralympic flame is lit in Brisbane and day-one of our ambition to make wheelchair sport more accessible across Victoria.

“Brisbane 2032 will put Paralympic sport at the centre of Australia’s attention, if we want to create a legacy for Victoria we must begin now.” says Mick.

If you want to be a part of WSV, jump on our website www.wsportvic.org.au

Everyone deserves the chance to play!
