Australian Paralympic Committee

For 10 years, Telstra has been a major sponsor of the APC - the organisation representing Australia's elite athletes with a disability.

As well as providing fundraising support, Telstra is also involved with a number of programs including the Telstra National Wheelchair Rugby League series, where State teams compete for the national title and athletes vie for selection to represent Australia at the World Championships.

The Telstra Developing Athlete Grant Scheme provides financial assistance to emerging athletes identified through the APC Talent Search program. Successful applicants will be announced in March 2008.

The Telstra Paralympic Education Program is a teaching resource for primary schools. The program has been designed to educate children about the Paralympic Games through the key values of Paralympic sport: Empower, Achieve and Inspire across a wide range of subject areas.

The Paralympic Employment Program allows elite athletes to pursue a career with Telstra, while providing the flexibility to reach their sporting goals.
