ICARE BACKS REVOLUTION IN ADAPTIVE SPORT AND RECREATION
Minister for Finance and Employee Relations Damien Tudehope today launched The Adaptive Movement website, a revolution in how adaptive sport and recreation is delivered supported by icare, the NSW Government Insurance and Care provider.
The Adaptive Movement is a website featuring more than 150 providers of Adaptive Sport and Recreation activities throughout NSW (and ACT) and is a one-stop-shop for everyone who wants to get more active and wants their sport adapted just for them, such as people with physical, developmental or cognitive impairments and older Australians.
“The Adaptive Movement website is a game changer for people looking for adaptive sport and recreation close to home. It will help connect people directly with providers, making it easier to get active,” Mr Tudehope said.
“There are more than 170 adaptive sport and recreation activities to choose from including cricket, AFL, hockey, dance, swimming, netball, sailing, judo, gymnastics, surfing, golf, bowling, scuba diving, skiing and boxing, to name a few.” icare CEO Richard Harding said he is proud to support The Adaptive Movement.
“The benefits to wellbeing of engaging in sport and connecting with community are widely accepted. We’ve seen first-hand how crucial it can be for people’s physical and mental wellbeing after a serious injury and are thrilled to be supporting an easier way for people to get involved in adaptive sport and recreation,” Mr Harding said.
“The Adaptive Movement will make a big difference to the lives of many of the people icare helps support.”
Mick Garnett, CEO of Wheelchair Sports NSW/ACT, is encouraging providers of adaptive sport and recreation to promote their services on the website and said The Adaptive Movement is a simple and accessible way for people to get moving.
“The conditions are right for the launch of a revolution in the way people get active.We have an Australian of the Year in Dylan Alcott from Adaptive Sport, and a 10-year horizon to an Australian Paralympic Games in Brisbane, so now is the time to change the way people get more active if they want their sport adapted just for them,” Mr
Garnett said.
