2025 Para Badminton Falcons

Para Badminton first appeared at the Tokyo Paralympics in 2021 and has since continued to thrive. Our Australian Para Falcons compete nationally and internationally against the worlds best players.

Through support from the ASC, Paralympics Australia and Badminton Oceania, players receive personal development plans, funding support and access to other support tools and resoures. Athletes in this program work with their personal badminton coach and come together at national and international training camps throughout the year.

All athletes are categorised according to either the AIS categorisation framework or under the BA categorisation policy as an international athlete. Players are selected based on the Para Selection Policy available here.
