About Abilities Unlimited Australia (AUA)
Welcome to Abilities Unlimited Australia (AUA), a non-profit community organisation based in Canberra, ACT.

Inclusive Sport and Active Recreation Programs at AUA
AUA is passionate about providing inclusive sports, active recreation, and personal development programs for children of all abilities. We believe that engaging in sport and active recreation activities is not only fun but also crucial for overall health, well-being, and community inclusion.

Through our diverse network of all ability programs, we offer a wide range of inclusive sports and activities that cater to individual interests and abilities. From fundamental movement and athletics to dance, fitness, and wellbeing, we aim to provide opportunities for children to explore their passions, develop essential skills, and enjoy the benefits of an active lifestyle.

Swimming, skateboarding, cycling, martial arts, self-defence, and multi-team sports are just a few examples of the activities we offer. Each program is designed to create a supportive and inclusive environment where children can thrive, build confidence, and develop their physical and social abilities.

We strongly believe that every child deserves the opportunity to participate in sports and active recreation. These activities not only promote physical fitness but also foster social connections, enhance self-esteem, and instil valuable life skills such as teamwork, resilience, and perseverance.

By providing support for children of all abilities to engage in these activities, AUA is creating equal opportunities and promoting community inclusion. We believe that every child should have the chance to experience the joy, fulfillment, and sense of belonging that comes from being part of a team, participating in sports, and enjoying active recreation.

Join AUA and help us empower children to develop essential skills, unlock their potential, and experience the countless benefits of participating in inclusive sports and active recreation. Together, we can create a more inclusive and supportive community where every child has the opportunity to thrive.

Our purpose
At AUA, our heartfelt mission is to make a real and positive impact on the lives of children with diverse abilities. We understand the unique challenges they face and are dedicated to creating inclusive opportunities for active participation in sports and community activities.

In Australia, one in ten children lives with a disability, and more than
1.2 million children manage chronic illnesses, leading to distinct life
experiences. At AUA, we are committed to turning the tide by
providing a variety of all-ability programs that go beyond sports,
fostering friendships, self-confidence, and overall well-being.

We firmly believe that participation in sports is not just about
physical health but also about fostering social connections and
personal growth. By breaking down barriers and fostering inclusivity,
we aspire to create a more accepting and supportive society.

Recognizing the pivotal role families play, we provide a nurturing
environment, offering support, resources, and a strong community.

Through collaborative efforts and the kindness of donors, we can
continue our vital work and broaden our reach. Joining AUA means
joining a movement to create a fairer, more inclusive society where every child can flourish.

Together, let's empower children, strengthen families, and create a future where all abilities are embraced and celebrated.
