Power Assist

"Helping Others Achieve Their Goals"


Power Assist is a volunteer based, 'not for profit' organisation focussed on personal development and building the self esteem of people who are intellectually disabled, or otherwise disadvantaged, by providing sporting opportunities, primarily through basketball.


Our Patron is Mr Andrew Gaze


Our main program is running the Victorian Championship Basketball Competition for Players with an Intellectual Disability.  This competition has been running continuously since 1987 and currently provides a regular weekly sporting opportunity for over 250 of Melbourne's intellectually disabled community. 

The competition is completely self funded and has always relied on the generosity of very dedicated volunteers to continue its operations. 

We cater for age groups from 12 to 80 and have 5 grades of competition which cater for all abilities - including a women's only grade.

We are always happy to welcome new teams or individual players into the competition so if you are interested, please come along and see for yourself what a very unique competition it is!
