Summer Paralympics appearances (overview)

Australia competed at the 2024 Summer Paralympics in Paris, France, from 28 August to 8 September 2024.

Administration

[edit]

In June 2022, Paralympics Australia announced Kate McLoughlin as the Chef de Mission, her third Summer Paralympics in this role.[1] Assistant Chef de Missions: Bridie Kean, Tim Mannion and Ben Troy.[2] Curtis McGrath and Angie Ballard were appointed team captains.[3]

On 2 July 2024, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Opposition Leader Peter Dutton showed bipartisan support for the 2024 Australian Paralympic Team with the official team launch in the Great Hall of Parliament House in Canberra.[4]

On 12 July 2024, wheelchair racer Madison de Rozario and swimmer Brenden Hall were announced as Opening Ceremony flag bearers at a ceremony at Admiralty House in Kirribilli, Sydney. Both will be five-time Paralympians.[5]

The team's uniforms are designed and supplied by R.M. Williams, Belgravia, Birkenstock, Mizuno and Speedo.[6]

The Australian government announced that gold medallists would be awarded $20,000, silver medallists $15,000 and bronze medallists $10,000. It brings Australian Paralympic medallists in line with Australian Olympic medallists who receive similar medal reward payments by the Australian Olympic Committee.[7]

The 159 strong team was finalised on 8 August 2024.[8] Dual individual gold medallists - Lauren Parker (paratriathlon and cycling) and James Turner (athletics) carried the flag at the Closing Ceremony.[9]
