Member Organisations
As a member based organisations we are proud to work closely with our member organisations across the country, who work passionately to grow opportunities for people who are blind or vision impaired to get involved in sport and get active.
Our members are made of a combination of state based members in all Australian states and national based members who represent a particularly blind sport.
It is through ongoing collaboration and engagement with our member organisations that we continue to grow and fulfil all our missions.

Blind Cricket has been played in Australia since 1922. Its early origins were in Prahran, Victoria where a group of blind and vision impaired people came up with the idea of putting some rocks in a can and using it as a ball. Today, Blind Cricket Australia oversees competitions in all mainland states and is developing the game in Tasmania and the Northern Territory.
