We prepare the Australian Paralympic Summer and Winter Teams – and have done so successfully since 1990. At Paris 2024, Australia finished ninth on the medal tally, out of 168 competing nations, with 18 gold, 17 silver and 28 bronze medals.

Working with our National Federation partners, we identify emerging Paralympians and fund the coaching, equipment and travel that gets them to the start line, while also investing in national classification systems that underpin fair competition.

We believe sport delivers real social and physical benefit – and that every Paralympian an audience sees on screen, on stage or in the room reshapes what the community expects of people with disability. That belief is the thread running through everything below: three ways to bring that impact into your event, industry/association impact program, your workplace, or your calendar.

 

Paralympic Speakers Program

Give your audience a story they’ll still be talking about after the conference ends.

Our Paralympians and Para athletes are seasoned professionals on stage, engaging and adaptable, whether the brief is a keynote, a gala dinner, a panel or an intimate staff session. They know how to read a room and land the message your event needs, from resilience and high performance to teamwork and reinvention, all wrapped in a genuinely inspiring personal story of what it takes to reach the top of world sport.

Tell us about your audience and your objectives, and Paralympics Australia will match you with the right athlete and manage the booking end-to-end — so all you need to worry about is introducing them.

Perfect for: keynotes, conference plenaries, gala dinners, award nights, internal leadership events, panel discussions.

 

Para Tough Cup

A corporate event with an edge – and a cause behind it.

Para Tough Cup puts your team through a series of adapted athletic challenges designed to give a taste of what Para sport demands, all in a high-energy, team-building format.

It’s competitive, memorable, and built for corporate groups, conference add-ons and MICE programs looking for something beyond the standard team-building day  with every event helping fund the next generation of Australian Paralympians.

Perfect for: conference sidebar events, corporate team-building days, client entertainment, fundraising and CSR activations.

 

Beyond Sport: Employer Ready Program

Turn inspiration into action.

Beyond Sport helps organisations become genuinely employer-ready to hire and support people with disability, pairing practical workplace guidance with a mentoring program connecting your people directly with Para athletes. It’s the natural companion to a Speakers Program booking — where the keynote sparks the conversation, Beyond Sport gives your organisation the tools to act on it, building real capability and confidence around disability employment.

Perfect for: D&I strategies, leadership development, ESG and social impact commitments, staff mentoring initiatives.
