WADSA Inclusive Sports Symposium
Inclusive Program Design
Get ready to be part of something truly impactful. Our second Interactive Inclusive Sports Symposium, proudly supported by Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport (DCITS), is designed to inspire, challenge, and equip you to lead the way in inclusive program design.
This year, we’re putting a strong spotlight on inclusive program design – the “how” behind creating sport and recreation opportunities where people of all abilities can genuinely participate, contribute, and thrive. This isn’t just about ideas; it’s about giving you the practical skills and confidence to design programs that work for everyone.
This is more than just an event—it’s a hands-on opportunity to explore how thoughtful, inclusive design can transform sport and recreation so that people of all abilities can genuinely belong, participate, and thrive.
Whether you’re a coach, umpire, volunteer, club administrator, or community leader, you’ll leave with the tools, confidence, and ideas to create programs that are not just accessible—but truly inclusive.
In collaboration with leading State Sporting Associations, we’re bringing together experts, athletes, and advocates who are shaping the future of inclusive sport across Western Australia.
