Inclusive Futures event wrap up

Well, what an incredible event this was.

This event was the very start of many more conversations to be had with our Active Inclusion – Allied Health Pathway project. We gathered like minds together to discuss the complexities of para classification from a strengths-based perspective & was taken through a very helpful resource now available from Paralympics Australia to help more people & professionals understand classification better.

Our aim is to elevate Allied Health Professionals and empower them with education & understanding for their participants desired outcomes.

Our role is to link Allied Health Professionals with these amazing resources & the right people to support them ultimately supporting their participants.

We are also showcasing the grassroots sport, fitness & recreational inclusion programs that already exist on the Gold Coast for enhanced participation choice for People with Disability in the form of an online directory. This directory is being added to all the time & can be viewed here; https://gcrs.com.au/active-inclusion-directory/
