Sporting Wheelies' CEO Wheelie Challenge is your chance to help improve the lives of people with disability and gain first-hand understanding along the way.
We Challenge YOU to spend one day using a wheelchair at your office.
Is your computer and keyboard within easy reach? Can you even get into the office? Are the doors easy to open? How many accessible toilets does your floor have? Are there lifts or ramps for you to get into the building?
You will be able to answer all these questions and more after participating in the CEO Wheelie Challenge!
Your support is vital to help people living with disability stay active, healthy and connected with others.
Sporting Wheelies is committed to engaging, empowering and supporting people with a disability through sport, recreation, rehabilitation and community engagement.
As we look towards the 2032 Brisbane Olympics and Paralympics, we’re developing even more pathways to elite sports on a national and international level.
We’re also working to grow our grassroots programs at the community level, for people living with disability of all ages to take part in sports and recreation.
By taking part in the CEO Wheelie Challenge, you’re helping us to inspire a future generation of athletes – thank you for your support!
How it Works

Open your doors to more employees and customers with disability.
With 4.4 million Australians living with disability, it’s more important than ever for businesses to become more accessible and inclusive for current and potential employees as well as customers.
By taking part in the CEO Wheelie Challenge, you will gain a first-hand insight into what it may be like to have a disability and identify areas for improvement in your business.
We can also help you implement what you’ve learned through follow-up mentoring and advice, as well as disability awareness training workshops for your team, and more.
