The ASAPD x PlayWell Inclusive Sport Planning Framework is a practical guide designed to support National Sporting Organisations (NSOs) embed disability inclusion into their participation planning. Developed in collaboration with leading inclusion experts and national bodies, this resource forms part of ASAPD’s ongoing commitment to ensuring equitable access for all Australians in sport and active recreation.
This framework provides a strategic, evidence-informed roadmap to help NSOs:
Design and deliver inclusion-focused initiatives
Co-design with lived-experience stakeholders
Align with the Play Well National Participation Strategy
Embed inclusion principles across every layer of participation planning
The resource is particularly relevant for Phase 3: Co-Design of the Play Well planning process and helps ensure inclusion is not treated as a standalone concept, but as an integrated, organisation-wide approach.
