What does Sport Inclusion Australia do, and why does my child need eligibility?

Sport Inclusion Australia (SIA) supports people with an intellectual impairment in sport. Its services include creating pathways with sporting, government and community bodies, athlete eligibility, capacity building for organisations, and sport pathways advisory. It also runs a School Sport Program.

Athlete eligibility is how SIA helps athletes with an intellectual impairment meet the requirements for competition. SIA says eligible athletes must have a valid athlete registration card to compete.
