Story

For over 50 years, WS NSW has been dedicated to enriching the lives of people with a disability through participation in sport.

We recognise that sports changes people's lives. Sport is a powerful rehabilitation tool for those who have suffered catastrophic injury, and a strong integrating force for those with a disability living in a predominately able bodied society.

For many individuals, participation in wheelchair sport is also an important pathway to social connection or rejoining the community following a catastrophic injury and/or illness, for forming friendships and increasing confidence, social skills and education, along with overall motivation, determination and courage.

We provide sporting programs, wheelchairs, facilities, financial assistance and professional support staff to over 550 members, from 8-80 years of age, to enjoy the benefits of involvement in sport at all stages, beginner to elite.

Mission

Enriching the lives of people with a physical disability by providing quality sporting programs for all ages and stages, beginner to elite.
