Medallists[edit]

Funding[edit]

Sport Australia provided funding to Paralympics Australia – $3,735,548 (2016/17), $5,019,780 (2017/18), $13,578,880 (2018/19), $8,634,280 (2019/20).[6] The 2021/22 Australian Government budget provided $3.5 million due to increased operational costs for the Australian Paralympic Team's participation in the Tokyo Paralympic Games due to the impact of COVID-19.[7] Sport Australia also provides funding to national sports organisations to support their Paralympic athletes. The breakdown of this funding is not available.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced in Parliament on 2 September 2021 that the Australian Government would finance equivalent payments to Australian Paralympic medallists to that provided by the Australian Olympic Committee to Olympic medallists - $20,000 cash bonus for Olympic gold medallists, while silver medallists and bronze medallists take home $15,000 and $10,000.[8][9]

COVID-19[edit]

Australian Paralympic team members are checked on arrival at the airport in Tokyo for the Tokyo Paralympics.

Paralympics Australia required all Australian athletes and officials to have a COVID-19 vaccination to be considered for selection, whereas the Australian Olympic Committee and the International Paralympic Committee only strongly recommended the vaccine for those travelling to Tokyo.[10] Paralympics Australia stated "This underpins PA's duty of care and the responsibility to do everything in our power to keep each and every team member safe for the duration of our stay in Tokyo and our journey home again."[10]
