BATS Clubs

Australia

 

 

BATS Clubs are not-for-profit charities that assist people with a disability to lead a more inclusive, healthier, and active lifestyle through its All-Ability Activities Program.

BATS Clubs support events that include participants with a disability, those events that promote All-Ability participation, and those events that promote community inclusion. Adaptive technology and re-designed rules that level the playing field for all participants with a disability is a highly desirable criteria. 

Participation in these events is available to members of BATS Clubs, their family members, their friends, and their support workers.
