Building Stronger Disability Inclusion Across Mundaring
Inclusive sport Mundaring is gaining strong momentum as Sport4All deepens engagement across clubs, schools and Shire leadership in the Perth Hills.
With six positive early engagements already underway, groundwork is being laid for structured disability inclusion support across the region.
Building Local Foundations
A soft launch was delivered internally to Shire of Mundaring staff on 10 February, introducing the Sport4All program and outlining opportunities for local collaboration. The session was well received and marked an important first step in aligning council leadership with disability inclusion priorities. The official public launch is scheduled for 26 March, 2026.
Workshops and Ongoing Support
Following the launch, Sport4All will host:
- A Sport4All Expo (date to be confirmed)
- Six weekly workshops for clubs and schools
- Structured opportunities to complete training modules
- Practical support for future action planning
These workshops will provide consistent touchpoints for organisations ready to strengthen inclusion in everyday practice.
Expanding Adaptive Sport in the Perth Hills
Inclusive sport efforts in the Shire of Mundaring are continuing to grow through collaboration with state sporting organisations and established community programs.
Current engagement includes:
- Volleyball WA, exploring opportunities to introduce Adaptive Volley within local schools.
- WA All Abilities Football Association (WAAAFA), working alongside existing All Abilities AFL programs and clubs to support adaptive football opportunities and community come-and-try activities in the region.
These partnerships build on the strong foundations already being delivered across Western Australia by organisations such as WAAAFA, who lead inclusive football pathways including Starkick, integrated competitions, wheelchair football and blind AFL.
The collaboration aligns with broader state inclusion efforts highlighted at events such as the Optus Origin AFL event, where inclusive programming and sensory-friendly initiatives were showcased.
Looking ahead, planning has also begun to establish a No Limits Netball team, targeted to commence in 2027. This work is not centred on a single event. It is about building a local ecosystem where:
- Schools understand inclusive practice
- Clubs have structured training pathways
- Adaptive sport opportunities are visible
- Shire leadership is aligned
With partnerships forming across football, volleyball and netball, inclusive sport Mundaring is moving from intention to implementation.
The March event provided an opportunity to highlight the work already happening across the region and strengthen collaboration between local partners.
