We are a National Sporting Organization and are keen to introduce people to blind and vision impaired bowls.

When a blind or vision impaired person is playing bowls they are accompanied by a sighted helper who job is to assist them on the green and advising of where their bowls are using the clock system.

Aims and objectives:
The Australian Blind Bowlers Association aim to provide the opportunity for members to represent their State in National events.

  • to develop our players so that they can represent Australia in International events.
  • to increase the opportunity for vision impaired persons to participate in lawn bowls
  • to increase an awareness that vision impaired persons can participate in competitive sports

You can help in this by becoming a helper for a vision impaired person.
