World champions from across swimming, netball, athletics and our own Boccia are just some of the incredible athletes and teams being recognised as finalists for the 2023 AIS Sport Performance Awards (ASPAs).
In Australia, people who work or volunteer with children are screened for suitability. As part of this screening process, nominated state agencies examine an applicant’s police information including criminal charges, offences, findings of guilt and professional conduct reports across the applicant’s lifetime
With the countdown on to the Games, the calendar for all sessions for the different sports at the Paralympic Games is out – with the final 100 m wheelchair sprint, men and women’s finals in wheelchair basketball, doubles wheelchair tennis events, and the kick-off for the blind football final and more all scheduled. This schedule provides a clearer look at what will take place over 11 days of competition, ahead of the publication of the full events schedule.
Experience, flare, courage and discipline. These are some of the qualities necessary to join the global top tier of Paralympic athletes.
Over the coming months, Australia’s finest will compete around the world in search of quota spots for Paris 2024 and a place on the Australian Paralympic Team. These great sportspeople and role models are among those you need to follow.
