Sport has the power to bring people together, and for listeners of Vision Australia Radio, Vision Sports does just that. Each week, the program explores the sporting world through the lens of accessibility, celebrating not only the thrill of mainstream competitions like the AFL and NRL, but also the achievements of athletes involved in blind cricket, adaptive athletics, wheelchair basketball and more.
At the heart of Vision Sports is Matt Lee, an AFL-accredited commentator and long-time sports enthusiast who lives with low vision. Matt is passionate about making sport inclusive, ensuring listeners who are blind or have low vision can share in the excitement of the games they love. Alongside his co-hosts, he brings a mix of news, analysis and interviews that highlight the diversity of sport and the people who make it possible.
The team is always looking to spotlight members of the community. Whether it’s a local competition, a new initiative in inclusive sport, or an inspiring personal story, Vision Sports offers a platform for athletes, advocates and community groups to share their work. Interviews are welcomed and, subject to availability, provide a valuable opportunity for voices from across the blind and low vision community to be heard.
For those who can’t tune in live, Vision Sports is also available as a podcast on Apple, Spotify, Google, Amazon Music and other major platforms. This is thanks to the behind-the-scenes efforts of David, who ensures every episode is uploaded and accessible on demand. His work makes it possible for the program to reach listeners well beyond broadcast, extending the show’s impact across Australia and around the world.
Vision Sports is more than a radio program; it’s a bridge between sport and community, built on the belief that access and inclusion belong at the centre of the conversation. To tune in, simply listen live each Saturday on Vision Australia Radio or catch up anytime through the podcast. And if you’d like to share your story, promote an event, or suggest an interview, the team would love to hear from you. Contact us via email at [email protected].
