Description
Established in 1978 as the Australian Disabled Skiers Federation, we are now known as Disabled Wintersport Australia (DWA). The organisation has assisted thousands of individuals with disabilities to participate in winter sports annually. From its programs some of the world’s finest alpine skiers have emerged recording victories at the highest level of international competition. The organisation’s members range from recreational skiers to Australia’s Winter Paralympians. DWA is an organisation with a national perspective taking responsibility for development of disability winter sport in Australia. Through building the capability and capacity of a National Sport System, including accountability at the national level, we provide members with technically sound sports programs, policies and service.
