The Fair Play Code
The Fair Play Code outlines the standards of behaviour expected by everyone involved in sport in Victoria to enable every Victorian to be involved in fair, safe and welcoming sport and active recreation. The Fair Play Code is guided by the 5 principles of Integrity, Safety, Respect, Fairness and Responsibility.
All Victorian wheelchair rugby participants, be that players, officials, spectators or volunteers, are bound by the Fair Play Code. Your behaviour at sporting events and programs matters. Let’s collectively call time on bad behaviour in wheelchair rugby and choose to be fair and play fair.

Thank you to our sponsors and partners for supporting wheelchair rugby in Victoria
Wheelchair Rugby Australia sincerely thanks Disability Sport and Recreation for their longstanding support and the invaluable contributions they’ve made in previously managing the wheelchair rugby program in Victoria. See our joint media release for more information about the transfer.
We are regularly seeking new volunteers, referees, officials and sponsors to help our program run smoothly. Wheelchair rugby in Victoria would not be able to develop and succeed without their invaluable help. Get in touch if you are interested in learning how you can support us.
