Sports CONNECT disability services education resource

From NSW Sport and Recreation:

Further to our Sport CONNECT State Meeting conducted in March 2009, the Australian Sports Commission (ASC), in partnership with NSW Sport and Recreation (and other state/territories) are developing the Sports CONNECT framework, which aims to increase the participation of people with disabilities in sport across Australia.

To support this process, a Sports CONNECT education resource, specifically targeting the disability services sector, is being developed. The aim is to develop resource material that will assist practitioners and service users in accessing opportunities in sport and physical recreation.

The ASC has appointed Ken Black to develop the Sports CONNECT educational resource. It is important that disability service providers, parents, carers and participants have the opportunity to input their ideas and suggestions about the format and content of the education resource.


NSW Sport and Recreation are looking for around 6 to 10 people for each meeting (meeting 1 - focuses on disability services and meeting 2 focuses on parents/carers/end users).

The details for meeting are:
