NSWIS has launched its first six-week Para Transition Program, helping young people with disability discover Para-sport and connect with elite coaches and mentors.
Delivered in partnership with Paralympics Australia and aligned with the national Para System Uplift, athletes are introduced to sports like sitting volleyball, goalball, Para-powerlifting and Para-shooting, plus training in wellbeing, recovery and classification.
Parents and athletes are already seeing the benefits, from new skills and confidence using equipment like wheelchairs to a stronger sense of community and belonging in Para-sport.
