Our Vision
Nican's vision is to support an Australian Society where any recreational opportunity values diversity, supports freedom and choice, and strengthens inclusive communities. We do this by providing information and awareness of the need for inclusion on recreation, tourism, sport and the arts for people with disabilities.
Our Aim
Nican aims to create active and dynamic links between people, places and resources that enables access to recreation experiences for people with disabilities and their community. An essential component in creating links is via the networks we are involved in at both a national and state level. The vast majority of our networks is informal and rely on individuals who share our passion and are committed to sharing information. A good way to this is to become a member.
