Special Olympics Australia (“SOA”) was established in 1976 providing sporting opportunities for people with an intellectual disability of all ages and abilities. Special Olympics is a year-round multi-sports program for children and adults with an intellectual disability, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of skills and friendship with their families, other athletes and the community. We create accessible sports training, coaching and competition opportunities for all people with an intellectual disability whether they want to take part in recreational activities, aspire to climb the competition ladder or seek additional opportunities outside of our program.
About SOA
Special Olympics Australia (SOA) is not just an organisation; it's a powerhouse of inclusivity, passion, and transformation, impacting lives one program at a time. Since its humble beginnings in 1976, SOA has been on a relentless mission to empower individuals with an intellectual disability through sport, health, education and leadership programs.
From backyard camps to a global phenomenon, Special Olympics has touched the lives of over 5 million athletes and unified partners across 170 countries. In Australia, SOA is the driving force behind year-round inclusive sports training and competitions, ensuring that every person with an intellectual disability can unleash their potential. With a dedicated network of volunteers and coaches, SOA creates accessible pathways for people to not only excel in sports but also to build self-esteem, foster courage, and forge lifelong friendships.
