Access for All Abilities (AAA) increases opportunities for people with a disability to participate in community based sport and recreation. The AAA program provides local clubs and other physical activity providers with a variety of support and resources to ensure 'access for all'.
What AAA does:
- helps clubs better attract, include and retain people with a disability into its programs and activities,
- promotes local inclusive opportunities to people with a disability,
- works within Council to ensure that 'access and inclusion' are considered in relation to relevant council recreation programs and strategies.
