Wheelchair Rugby Victoria

ANNOUNCEMENT: Wheelchair rugby in Victoria is now under the management of Wheelchair Rugby Australia (WRA).

In partnership with Disability Sport and Recreation (DSR), this strategic move marks an exciting new chapter for wheelchair rugby in Victoria and reflects the continued growth and evolution of wheelchair rugby in Australia, positioning the sport in Victoria under a dedicated, single-sport organisation to support athlete development and increase opportunities at all levels.

WRA thanks DSR for their longstanding support and the invaluable contributions they’ve made in managing the wheelchair rugby program in Victoria to date and looks forward to ongoing collaboration with DSR to promote participation and grow the sport at the community level.
