GPAI Vision
Purpose Built Golf Facility
A World First Concept
GPAI — Driving Inclusion / Breaking Isolation
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics there are over 4.3 million disabled people with approximately 600,000 individuals living with an intellectual disability nationally. People with disability aged 15-24 years were 10 times more likely to report the experience of discrimination than the elderly. In reality there are few training & meaningful work placement opportunities for the intellectually disabled.
GPAI plans to address this issue by establishing the world’s first Purpose Built Golf Facility providing substantial training & work placement opportunities specifically for the intellectually disabled.
