“Our goal is to enable more people with a disability to be more active more often, by collaborating with sport, recreation and disability groups to create more choice for people with a disability, and to help people connect with physical activity opportunities” said DSA General Manager – Sport, Kelsey Singh. “We are excited to work with James to engage and grow local programs in the Northern Territory for people with a disability”.

“I understand the challenges and barriers of individuals with disability participating in sport through both lived experience and my work” said James. “I’m looking forward to using my skill set to increase positive physical activity outcomes for Territorians living with disability and building overall awareness of best practice for sport inclusion”.
