DSR Kids
Every kid deserves to get out and get active. We run several activities just for kids… come join us!
What’s on offer at DSR Kids
We proudly partner with People Outdoors to provide recreational camps for our members.
Hospital Program
Come and have fun trying out different sports to help you get healthy and active in hospital and at home!
We are working with the Victorian Paediatric Rehabilitation Service to give kids with disability who are patients of the Royal Children’s Hospital and Monash Children’s Hospital the opportunity to get active.
Each month, the kids get to try a different sport that is delivered by a State Sporting Association representative in the hospital’s rehabilitation gym. Therapists create an inclusive space so every kid can take part to their full potential.
At each session, our program coordinator explains the pathways for kids with disability to access sport in their community.
