From blind cricket and adaptive climbing to accessible surfing and walking hockey, more people with disability in regional Victoria are getting the chance to enjoy the sports they love.
Through the latest Regional All Abilities Participation Grants, 89 local clubs and organisations will share more than $1.6 million to expand inclusive sport and recreation opportunities. Grants of up to $25,000 will help fund adaptive equipment, coaching, new programs and events across the state.
Projects include Mt Baw Baw’s first adaptive snow sports program, inclusive biking in Geelong, and the 2026 Mildura Tri-State Games.
The initiative forms part of the Victorian Government’s $40 million All Abilities Sport Fund, supporting participation for people with disability across regional communities.
