The National Paralympic Committee in Australia, Paralympics Australia, has announced a sponsorship agreement with the University of Queensland (UQ). This partnership certifies Brisbane as a major Paralympic sports centre.
The partnership was announced during a campus tour of UQ’s St. Lucia campus by a group from Paralympics Australia, led by CEO Catherine Clark.
One of the oldest universities in each state and established in 1909, the University of Queensland is ranked second in Australia and 42nd overall in 2023 among the most prestigious universities in the world.
As part of the collaboration, UQ students enrolled in various professional programs will begin conducting industry placements with Paralympics Australia this year.
In light of the recent proclamation by Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk regarding the establishment of a new Paralympics Australia base in Brisbane, space will also be provided at the university to support more intensive preparation and cooperation leading up to 2032.
