Inclusion begins with us
Inclusive Sport & Recreation
At New Horizons Tasmania, we believe that leading a healthy, active life and having access to sport and recreation should be a right, not a luxury. Our mission is to ensure that every Tasmanian, regardless of ability, has the opportunity to participate, be included, and thrive through physical activity and social engagement. We are dedicated to building a community where everyone feels welcome and valued. Inclusivity is at the heart of everything we do.
By providing a variety of programs, we encourage individuals of all abilities to get out there, set goals, stay active, and form meaningful connections along the way. New Horizons Tasmania collaborates with local, state, and national sporting bodies, as well as government agencies, to offer top-notch inclusive sport and recreation programs. We focus on ability rather than disability, fostering an environment where members can explore new activities at their own pace.
If you’re a sports enthusiast with a desire to give back, we’d love to hear from you. Volunteering with New Horizons is a fulfilling way to contribute to our vibrant community and help individuals achieve their goals. As a grassroots organisation, we rely on the generosity of our community to sustain our programs. Your donations enable us to make a significant impact in the lives of many Tasmanians. If you’d like to support our mission, please consider making a donation here Thank you for your generosity!

Whether you’re interested in trying something new at your own pace, meeting new people, or pursuing an elite sporting pathway, New Horizons can help you experience all the vital benefits of an active lifestyle!

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.
The partnership program with LCGS and New Horizons continues to be a session of great fun and friendship… not to mention also a great source of talent.
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.
