ABOUT US
New Horizons Tasmania has provided sport, recreational and social opportunities for local people with disability since 1986.
Whether you’d like to try something different at your own pace, meet new people or even follow an elite sporting pathway, New Horizons can help YOU reap all the vital benefits that an active lifestyle brings!
Through dynamic programs we empower individuals with disability, while playing a major role in building inclusive communities throughout Tasmania.

INCLUSIVE SPORT & RECREATION IS VITAL
Leading a healthy, active life and having access to sport and recreation shouldn’t be a luxury for ANYONE. Often though, it is.
At New Horizons Tasmania we believe EVERY Tasmanian should be given the opportunity to participate. To be included. To increase physical and overall well-being by ‘getting out there’, setting goals, keeping active – and making great friends along the way.
New Horizons work with local, state and national sporting bodies as well as government to offer the very best inclusive sport and recreation programs and pathways for Tasmanians with disability. You’ll notice though, that we don’t really talk about disability much. This is because New Horizons is about ability. It’s about embracing new and dynamic activities at a person’s own pace – and from here, great things grow.
If you’re keen to try something new, or master your passion, check out our programs here.
If you’re a sports lover and would be interested in volunteering with New Horizons, you can contact us here.
New Horizons is a grassroots organisation who rely on the generosity of our community to be able to offer what we do. If you’d like to contribute to our work through a donation, you can do so here – thank you so very much!
TESTIMONIALS
I often get asked by people: what is New Horizons Club like?
My response is always the same: it is a beautiful community of people who all share a desire to make the most of opportunities; it is a place that all members can belong and be their best.DON ELGIN

Belinda (Boss) Kitto, you are so amazing. Thank you for helping AFL Tas to organise and run this carnival. I guarantee this carnival would not have gone ahead without the amazing work Belinda put it.ALAN (Dingo) DENGATE
