We’re proud to be part of the Special Olympics network that provides a range of sport, recreation, social and health opportunities, for people with an intellectual disability to have fun, be healthy, build self-esteem, demonstrate courage, and make friends.
Sports training and events have resumed within State and Territory guidelines. Find out more about how to safely return to sport in the
