GippSport is funded by Sport and Recreation Victoria to deliver the Together More Active program to increase overall participation in sport and recreation across Gippsland.
Access for All Abilities (AAA) is a Victorian Government initiative coordinated by Sport and Recreation Victoria. It’s the only sport and recreation program of its type in Australia.
For over 10 years the program has, and continues to support and develop inclusive sport and recreation opportunities for people with a disability throughout Victoria.
Clubs working in partnership with Access for All Abilities can increase memberships and participation, and sporting competitions can enjoy more diversity. This will promote greater levels of inclusiveness, liveability, improved health and a stronger sense of community.
Another key objective of the Together More Active Program is to increase the equity, diversity and inclusiveness of sport and active recreation across Gippsland. Specific activities that GippSport staff can deliver through this program include:
Establishing and supporting inclusive and sustainable participation opportunities targeting people with a disability.
Supporting the sport and recreation and disability community through the provision of specialist inclusion (AAA) advice and one to one support.
Supporting the sport and recreation community through the provision of specialist inclusion (AAA) advice and work development opportunities (workshops).
