The Australian Paralympic Committee (APC) is the National Paralympic Committee in Australia for the Paralympic Games movement. It oversees the preparation and management of Australian teams that participate at the Summer Paralympics and the Winter Paralympics. APC played a major role in Australia's successful bid to host the 2000 Sydney Paralympics. Since the 1996 Summer Paralympics, Australia has finished in the top five nations on the medal tally. It is also a successful nation at the Winter Paralympics.
The APC is a company limited by guarantee and its shareholders are national sports federations and national sporting organisations for the disabled. These organisations are: Athletics Australia, Australian Shooting International Limited, AUSRAPID, Basketball Australia, Blind Sports Australia, Boccia Australia, Cerebral Palsy – Australian Sport and Recreation Federation, Cycling Australia, Disabled Winter Sport Australia, Equestrian Australia, Football Federation Australia, Rowing Australia, Swimming Australia, Table Tennis Australia, Tennis Australia, Wheelchair Sports Australia, and Yachting Australia.
The APC established in 1990 is governed by a Board of Directors which may include elected and appointed members.
