Paralympics Australia has unveiled Uplift, the second phase of its Strategic Plan, focused on building momentum towards Brisbane 2032. Following Imagine in 2023, the new horizon sharpens priorities to eight, with 17 key initiatives targeting stronger government investment, system growth, and athlete pathways.
President Grant Mizens said Uplift ensures Australia is ready to lead “not just on the medal tally, but as a nation that champions inclusion and equality through Para-sport.”
Centred on four pillars – Our Team, Our Ecosystem, Our Story, Our Future – the plan outlines goals like increasing Australia’s elite Para-athlete pool to 800 by 2028, delivering success at upcoming Games, and leaving a legacy of accessibility and inclusion at Brisbane 2032.
