Why Special Olympics Australia

Special Olympics Australia is part of a global movement improving inclusion through sports for people with intellectual disability and/or autism. We don’t just play the game, we change the game. We are a movement where no one is left behind, and everyone plays, competes and thrives.

Sports and Games

Special Olympics Australia offers 22 Olympic-type sports training and competitions for children and adults of all ages and ability levels - from weekly local grassroots activities, to State, National and World Games. 

Athlete Leadership

Through hands-on training, our leadership work invests in people with intellectual disability and/or autism so they can learn new skills off the playing field and become leaders in their communities and the Special Olympics movement.

Changing Lives

Special Olympics Australia changes the lives of our athletes with intellectual disability and/or autism, but also our coaches, families, volunteers and others who have the opportunity to take part.
