All Abilities

Touch Football Australia's All Abilities programs are completely inclusive, offering opportunities for individuals with intellectual and/or physical impairments to learn Touch Football skills and play the sport with their family members, carers, friends, and even elite players. The programs encourage participants to become active members of the sports community through inclusion.

Touch Football Australia has a zero-tolerance approach to any form of bullying, harassment, or vilification of people with disabilities. Disability discrimination of any sort will not be tolerated within our sport or workplace.
