Helping Build the Future of Wheelchair AFL

At just 15, Jai is already making a huge impact in the world of Wheelchair AFL.

At the recent Toyota AFL Open, Jai blew everyone away with his skill and was named in the All-Australian Squad.

He trains with the Wagga Tigers Wheelchair AFL Club, alongside his brother Beau. Jai said he hopes other kids like him will get involved, chase their goals, and find joy in sport, just like he has.

His commitment and love for the game are helping to grow the sport and strengthen the exciting future of Wheelchair AFL.

Thank you to Michelle, Simone & Ryley Batt for being with us at the launch, providing an opportunity to show them what the support from GIO Insurance can do to change lives through sport.

We're grateful to the team from TODAY for helping spread the word about this Club to a huge audience. It was also great to have Mayor Josh Black - Dubbo Regional Council come rolling with us.

Thanks to Zoe and the team at PCYC Dubbo for embracing this new Wheelchair Basketball Club and committing to help grow participation.

A bright future awaits, go the Wombats!

One of the all time greats of Wheelchair Sport.

Today marks 25 years since the Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games Opening Ceremony.

🥈 Winning silver in wheelchair basketball at the 2000 Sydney Paralympics will continue to be one of my most sincere privileges.

Sydney 2000 marked a phenomenal change for Paralympic sport. From playing in front of packed stadiums for the very first time, to the way young Australians began asking “What sport do they play?” instead of “What’s wrong with that person?”, the Games changed not just sport, but the way our city and our country see inclusion.

I’ll never forget the roar of the crowds, the joy of being part of a team, the volunteers who gave their all, and the sense that Sydney had stopped and transformed into a place of pure celebration.

The 2000 Sydney Paralympics didn’t just create memories, it reshaped attitudes, built accessibility, and inspired generations.

What a privilege to have been part of that history. 🏅💛
