Accessible Beaches Australia

Our mission is simple. We want to improve the quality of life for more than four million Australians living with a disability by getting them back onto the beach. The ocean is soothing for the soul, and we believe that everybody should have access to it. The Accessible Beaches campaign was founded in 2016 with a vision of making most patrolled beaches in Australia wheelchair accessible by 2020. Despite a challenging start, we're gaining strong momentum. We've achieved huge wins campaigning with communities that have fought for decades to make their beaches accessible. We've supported the few good councils that have been proactive and supportive of their residents. We've coordinated the 5 largest beach accessibility events in the world.
