The event is designed to provide crucial international competition experience for emerging Para athletes, serving as a pathway toward the Paralympics and World Championships. Australia’s commitment to high-performance excellence, inclusion, and accessibility is being showcased through hosting the tournament, according to Table Tennis Australia.
The Gold Coast Sports & Leisure Centre is hosting the competition. Classification services are being provided for all players needing them, requiring submission of a Consent Form and Medical Diagnostics Form at least one month prior to the tournament start date, as outlined by the ITTF.
