Crocodile Martial Arts Australia – Including People with a Disability Policy

Our Commitment

Our club welcomes all members of the community, regardless of their abilities. We will include people with disability in our club—both training and non-training to the greatest extent that we can.

We will endeavour to make our club as accessible as possible, based on our states sports policy on inclusion, the ability of the individuals involved in our club, they type and level of training they want to participate in and our capacity to make modifications that promote inclusion.

What We Will Do

• Put people first, focus on what they can do and find out how they want to participate
• Ask each individual – and their parents (for students under 18 years of age) – for their advice about what modifications would help them to participate.
• Where possible, make adjustments to our teaching and equipment.
• Be honest and explain if certain modifications or adjustments are not currently possible.
• Communicate with people and share club information in appropriate ways and formats.
• Expect all members of our club to accept and welcome people with disability.
• Make sure people of all abilities are included in our club’s social activities and are recognized for their contribution and achievement.
• Have strong policies to ensure that people can play sport and participate in our club without discrimination, harassment or bullying.

What We Ask You To Do

If you have a disability:

• Tell us what we can do to help include you in our club.
• Understand that we will do our best to make any necessary adjustment or modifications.
• Talk to us if you have any concerns or ideas to help us make our club more inclusive.
