Out of almost 12,000 beaches nationwide, less than 2% are currently accessible. This leaves many of the 4.4 million Australians living with a disability excluded from participating in our most iconic summer activities.

Accessible Beaches Australia (ABA) is calling on the federal government to increase funding and support to Councils and Surf Live Saving Clubs to make our beaches more accessible to people with disabilities and mobility challenges. ABA believes the beach is for everyone and envisions a future where accessible facilities and equipment become staples at beaches nationwide.
