Funding options for program fees
FairPlay vouchers
We’re a registered FairPlay provider, which means you can apply for a voucher and save $200 on your program fees.
FairPlay vouchers are a Queensland Government initiative aimed at helping families with the cost of junior sport, for children aged 5 to 17 years.
Simply click here to apply and email your voucher through to us at gym@sportingwheelies.org.au once you receive it.
Please note, if you’re looking through the list of registered activity providers, we’re listed as Spinal Life Australia which is our parent organisation.
NDIS funding
Program fees can be claimed through NDIS under Capacity Building – Increased Social and Community Participation (09_011_0125_1_3). Sporting Wheelies is a registered NDIS provider for children aged 7+ years.
How long does the term go for?
Each term runs for eight weeks, with Para Squad program sessions running for one and half hours.
What if I want to sign up mid-term?
You can sign up at any time during the eight weeks to give it a go. We will simply invoice you for any sessions remaining for the term. If you are joining us for the first time, your first two sessions are free.
How does the free trial work?
Come along for two sessions and see if you like it! If you decide to continue, we will deduct the cost of the first two sessions from your overall remaining term fees.
What happens in a typical session?
Our sessions are all about trying out a range of sports, keeping fit, building communication skills, teamwork and confidence, making new friends and most of all, having fun. Each week we will focus on a different sport with fun drills and games, modified in ways to promote inclusion. You’ll work on heaps of skills such as throwing, catching, passing and pushing which can translate into everyday life.
How do I sign up?
You can use our online form to sign up by clicking here or on each of the individual sport pages above. If you have any questions, give us a call on 3253 3333 or email gym@sportingwheelies.org.au.
Can I use my NDIS funding?
Yes! Just let us know when you register, and we will invoice you at the end of your eight weeks to claim through your NDIS funding. For athletes who do not have NDIS funding, you can pay at the time of registration. Read more on our form by clicking here.
Are the sports competitive?
Not at all! You can play just for fun or if you are interested in pursuing the next level, chat with our coaches. There are opportunities to compete in Boccia and Wheelchair Basketball at regional, state, national and international level.
Are volunteering opportunities available?
If you’re keen to be involved but not sure about participating just yet, you can also contribute to our sporting program in a number of ways, as an official or scorekeeper, event support or just come along and watch the action! Click here to register.
