Australia’s progress in Para-sport is accelerating with the appointment of four Para Sport and Classification Advisors in institutes and academies across the country, supporting equity and excellence for athletes with disability. These specialist advisors, developed through partnership between Paralympics Australia, the Australian Sports Commission, and state-based Para Sport Units, will help streamline the classification process, provide education, and boost collaboration within the Para Uplift program under the High Performance 2032+ Sport Strategy. They will work in key regions to increase accessibility, build community knowledge, and support both athletes and local sport providers, ultimately expanding opportunities and improving experiences for aspiring and elite Para-athletes across Australia.
