Complete safety for the Australians Paralympians by the Police of the country

Maximising the safety of Australian Paralympic athletes travelling overseas is the key priority of a new agreement announced by the Australian Paralympic Committee (APC) and Australian Federal Police (AFP).

Under the agreement, the APC has engaged the AFP to advise and provide guidance in relation to the security of the Australian Paralympic Team for the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Games and the Tokyo 2020 Games. The APC is aiming to send more than 300 athletes and officials to the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games and is likely to send more than 30 to PyeongChang in March. It will be one of Australia’s largest ever Winter Paralympic Teams.
