Boccia Australia
Boccia Australia is recognised by BISFed (Boccia International Sports Federation) as the organisation responsible for boccia in Australia. It is also recognised by Sports Australia as a National Sporting Organisation for People with Disability (NSOD) and is an ACNC registered charity with tax deductibility status. Boccia is a unique sport, specifically designed to include people with significant physical disabilities, including the most severely affected, to get active in sport. It can be played by those able to throw or kick a ball (BC1, BC2, BC4, BC5 and EMU classifications) and those who cannot (BC3) who play using a ramp and ramp assistant. Boccia can be played sitting down or lying down, thus making it available to anyone, even those unable to leave their bed or using ventilators. Adaptations have been made to allow for various impairments, as the development of Blind Boccia demonstrates
