In this interview highlight, recorded at the Adelaide Independent Living Expo, the team chat with Nathan from SANFL about blind and low vision football and the inclusive programs making Aussie rules accessible to more people.

Nathan explains how modified footies with high‑visibility colour and a built‑in buzzing sound allow players who are blind or have low vision to track the ball during play. He shares how the technology has evolved, why games are played indoors in controlled environments, and how classifications ensure the competition is fair and enjoyable for everyone.

The conversation also explores SANFL’s broader disability and inclusion programs, including wheelchair football and inclusive leagues, and the importance of partnerships in creating meaningful opportunities for people of all abilities to take part in the game they love.

This interview was recorded during Vision Australia Radio’s live broadcast from the Adelaide Independent Living Expo, highlighting innovation, assistive technology, and inclusive sport.
