To be competed as part of The Nationals 2026, the event will be hosted by Bowls Australia at North Beach Bowling Club, WA, 6-10 October. The Para event is unique in playing a three-a-side combination with Singles, Pairs, and Triples combinations for both Men and Women. The Men’s Sides must also contain at least one athlete classified in the B5-6 categories.
The Victorian Side contains much experience with the Women’s Side coming off a recent Series win against NSW. We look forward to celebrating further success at the Australian Para Nationals.
