TEAM AUSTRALIA
The Adaptive Sports Program (ASP) serves as the administration and advisory body for the Australian Defence Forces’ (ADF) adaptive sports. The ASP provides leadership, coordination, funding and support to other key stakeholders across the wounded, injured, and ill adaptive sports community. The ADF ASP works with a range of partners, in particular Veteran Sports Australia (VSA), The Road Home, and the Returned Services League (RSL), recognizing that a collaborative approach between a range of key individuals and organizations delivers greater results for service members, veterans, and their families. Through this work, with ADF sporting associations, other national sporting bodies, government departments and agencies, community based organizations, and the ex-Services Organisations (ESOs), the ADF and VSA are collaborating to develop a sustainable national adaptive sport program.
