Home > About Us Introduction Deaf Sports Australia (DSA) is a vibrant organisation focussed on facilitating the access of deaf and hard of hearing people to the best sporting opportunities available in Australia. DSA is the peak body for deaf sport in Australia and we have a National and State based sports structure. Currently, there are 12 National Deaf Sporting Organisations (NDSOs) and 5 States affiliated with DSA. The current membership of DSA is complex due largely to a number of sports attempting to form, the NDSOs and States having affiliates and members that are independent of DSA and similarly, individual members who are often not affiliated to an NDSO or State. DSA is funded by the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) and is a member of the National Sporting Organisation Business Support Centre (NSOBSC). DSA has a strong, fruitful and sustainable working relationship with the ASC. Additionally, DSA has strong partnerships with mainstream sporting organisations via the Building Bridges Program, other deaf organisations via the SNAD Program and the SIS/SAS system via the Deaf SIS/SAS Program. See below for a list of DSA's programs. |
