The awards are a celebration of the achievements of sportspeople with a disability, the coaches, organisations, officials, and volunteers who support them and the sector itself across Victoria in 2019.

Disability Sport and Recreation chief executive Richard Amon encouraged people to consider nominating those doing great work in inclusive sport and recreation.
“Our sector is made up of many humble people who quietly go about volunteering, coaching and supporting people with disability so they can live healthy, active lives,” Amon said.
“Together, these individuals, organisations and clubs are making tremendous, positive change in the lives of people with disability.
“We strongly encourage everyone to consider those people who are making a quiet but significant impact in their communities and acknowledge their contribution by nominating them for an award.”
