Football West’s All Abilities and Inclusion Program aims to make the game accessible and a great experience for all, supporting the WA community to benefit from participation in genuine, inclusive and accessible football environments.
The launch took place at the WA Paras State Open Day and trials at Gibbney Reserve, in Maylands, WA. Players from the WA All-Stars and Special Olympics WA were also in attendance.
atWork Australia WA State Manager for Disability Employment Services Kevin Golds said: “Football West nurtures and encourages the next generation of players to pursue their dreams and aspirations, with the vision to make the game accessible and a great experience for all, just as atWork Australia supports and encourages job seekers to pursue their dreams and aspirations for their careers, making work accessible and inclusive for all.”
“We are passionate about supporting Australians with disability, injury, illness or disadvantage into good, sustainable, inclusive employment. We know the power of pursuing and reaching goals in an inclusive environment – in work, sport, the community and all facets of life. That shared commitment to inclusion and supporting the pursuit of dreams and aspirations is why it is such a natural fit for us to support Football West,” said Kevin.
Football West Head of Development Jamie Harnwell said: “Football West is delighted to team up with atWork Australia, who perform a fantastic role in helping get the right person into the right job.”
“Football West is rightly proud of our All Abilities and Inclusion Program. We are a sport for all and partnering with atWork Australia further strengthens our commitment to inclusion,” said Jamie.
We wish all players the best of luck this season!
