Victoria Wheelchair Rugby Program Transitions to Wheelchair Rugby Australia
Wheelchair Rugby Victoria is now managed by Wheelchair Rugby Australia (WRA), marking a new chapter for the sport in the state. After four decades of leadership by Disability Sport and Recreation (DSR), the program’s transition to WRA reflects the sport’s growth and will streamline athlete development under a unified national framework.
WRA, recognised nationally and internationally for wheelchair rugby, will oversee all Victorian programs and work with DSR to keep building participation and opportunities. This move aligns Victoria with other states under WRA, delivering consistent pathways from grassroots to elite level.
Both organisations emphasise their shared commitment to inclusive sport and growth for wheelchair rugby athletes at all levels.
