Background
Wheelchair Sport was originally introduced into South Australia in the early 60's as part of the total rehabilitation program for individuals with a spinal injury. Since introduction, the growth and development of wheelchair sport have been tremendous. This rapid growth lead to the formation and incorporation of the Wheelchair Sports Association of South Australia in 1982.
The Association is responsible for the management of sport and recreation for people with a physical disability including paraplegia, quadriplegia, spina bifida, cerebral palsy, acquired brain injuries and other physical disabilities in South Australia and is recognised by the State Government and the Office for Recreation, Sports & Racing as the governing body.
Mission
Our mission is to ensure that members of the public of South Australia with a spinal impairment, amputation or classifiable disability, are provided with the maximum opportunity to participate in sport and recreation. The sport and recreational opportunities aim to ensure development of the individual member's full potential within a modern and relevant organisational framework that renders quality support and services.
