Ballarat Community Event and Disability Expo

Bestacare Disability Support Services is proud to host the Ballarat Integrated Para-Bowls Event, alongside a Local Disability Service Provider Expo and information showcase featuring accessible sporting opportunities available throughout the Ballarat community.

We are also excited to welcome Commonwealth Games Gold Medallist and Australian para-bowler Josh Thornton, who will be interviewed during the event and share insights from his inspiring sporting journey.

This free community event aims to promote inclusion in sport for people with disability, raise awareness of accessible sporting programs, and connect attendees with trusted local disability service providers.

Attendees will enjoy:

• An integrated para-bowls experience
• The opportunity to hear from guest speaker Josh Thornton
• A local disability service provider expo
• Information about accessible sporting options in the Ballarat region
• A sausage sizzle, with all proceeds supporting a local accessible community sports program
• Fresh coffee available from an on-site coffee van
• Door Prize

The provider expo offers a valuable opportunity for people with disability, family members, carers, support coordinators, and industry professionals to connect with local organisations, learn about available supports and services, and build meaningful community connections.

We invite everyone to come along, get involved, and help celebrate inclusive sport, community participation, and the many opportunities available for people of all abilities.

Info: Australian lawn bowls player and Commonwealth Games gold medalist.
