Expanding access and increasing participation in athletics for people with a disability

Australian Athletics has launched the Able with Athletics program, designed to break down barriers and provide inclusive, accessible pathways for children and young people with disability to participate in athletics. The initiative aims to open up opportunities to engage with track and field, develop skills, and enjoy the physical, mental, and social benefits of an active lifestyle in a welcoming environment.

The program offers games-based, adaptable activities delivered by experienced coaches, ensuring all participants can take part and build confidence regardless of ability level. With a focus on participation and connection, Able with Athletics is part of broader efforts to make Australian sport more inclusive and accessible for all.​
