Open Day

What Ability is making big waves in the disability space and it’s not going unnoticed! One major player in sports taking notice is the Essendon Football Club, who featured our Melbourne Open Day on their website.

The launch, which took place in collaboration with URBNSURF, saw an incredible turnout of athletes and participants enjoying a swim or going for a surf. Five Essendon players including Matt Guelfi, Dyson Heppell, Pat Voss, Kyle Langford, and Nick Bryan were present on the day.

We are so thankful for their support in bringing the day to life and helping us on our mission to break down barriers and build an inclusive Australia.

What Ability made a splash at Saturday’s Melbourne Open Day at URBNSURF. The launch was supported by major partners, Harvey Norman, Shaw and Partners and Tyrepower. The day kicked off with an athlete panel which included What Ability ambassadors Sean Keppie (NRL Manly Sea Eagles), Allie Smith (NSW Swifts), Rudi Ellis (West Coast Fever) and Matt Formston (Australian Paralympian). Other athletes present were Matt Guelfi, Dyson Heppell, Kelsey Browne, Young Tonumaipea, Rahni Sanason, Patrick Voss, Kyle Langford, Jessica Jones and Nick Bryan. 

The day saw a great turn out with Melbourne families, participants and athletes turning up to meet the team and soak up the sunshine. Participants were seen swimming in the bays and surfing alongside their favourite athletes. It was a day filled with lots of smiles, fun and surfing. Thank you to URBNSURF for facilitating an awesome day.
