Abstract
This article explores how gender and disability inequity is addressed in research, policy and organisational strategies that shape the Australian sporting landscape. By examining the most current annual reports and strategic plans of 31 national sport organisations, national disabled sport organisations, peak bodies, and government agencies, we identify the implications of siloed thinking that considers gender and disability to be separate forms of diversity. Our analysis outlines the limitations of organisational strategies, specific plans and even participation data for women with disability. We argue that an understanding of the nuanced experiences of women with disability is needed to inform policies and practices that advance equitable sport provision, making visible what women's disabled bodies can do and become through sport.
