The Inclusion Coach facilitated strong partnerships between sporting clubs, disability support
organisations, schools and the Department of Education, and Council services resulting in more

    to deliver sport and recreation programs.
•   Increased utilisation of Council halls and facilities for inclusive programs and activities.
•   Direct connections between clubs and disability support services, enabling more consistent and

•   Practical pathways for individuals with disability to transition from supported programs into
