WHAT IS PLAY WELL

Play Well, Australia’s Sport Participation Strategy (Play Well Strategy) has been developed to create great sporting environments and experiences where people of all ages, backgrounds, genders and abilities can access the benefits of sport.

Harnessing knowledge and experience from across the sector, the strategy commits to breaking down barriers and empowering individuals to explore, create and connect through sport. Participation is redefined to be more than just competing — it is about building safe, welcoming and inclusive spaces where everyone can belong and thrive.

Handball Australia was delighted to become a funded sport through Play Well funding in 2025, joining a national network of sports working together to keep our communities active.

Being a coach in the Handball Introductory Program gives me the opportunity to introduce an amazing new sport and help kids develop new skills. I love seeing their excitement and happiness as they learn this fun, fast-paced game. Being a coach and mentor in this program gives me real purpose and satisfaction.
