Hume All Abilities
Across Hume City you can find programs and services for all abilities.
Access for All-Abilities (AAA) Program
The Access for All Abilities (AAA) program was implemented to act as the first point of call for people with disabilities looking for sporting opportunities, through the provision of Access for All Abilities Play. AAA is funded and managed by Reclink Australia.
How does AAA work?
AAA Play is a free information and referral service to assist Melbourne people of all ages with a disability to become involved in sport and active recreation.
AAA Play works with the individual to find out about their individual needs and then link them with activities to suit.
AAA Play can connect people to State Sporting Associations (SSAs), community sports clubs/associations, local governments and physical activity providers that offer all-abilities programs.
To find activities in your local area, please visit the AAA Play website or call 1800 222 842 for more information.
