Volunteer Action Plan 2026 - 2028
Wheelchair rugby started in Australia over 30 years ago by a group of athletes who wanted to play, and dedicated volunteers supporting the sport’s growth. Since then, volunteers have been vital to the growth and success of wheelchair rugby locally and on the national stage.
This action plan builds on the work currently being undertaken in our community and aims to formalise and enhance initiatives to support the development of wheelchair rugby volunteers.
