What is Classification? 
Classification is an assessment process, which allows us to group athletes whose impairment causes similar limitations in a particular sport in order to allow for meaningful competition.

Classification requirements for the 2024 National Para Championships – Athletes with a Physical Impairment (Classes 1-10) are required to hold an eligible classification with a Sport Class Status of National Review (NR), National Fixed Review Date (NFRD) - 2023 or National Confirmed (NC) by the close of entries. Athletes without a classification, or who hold a National Review (NR), National Fixed Review Date (NFRD) - 2023 or a Provisional (PrR) status classification may enter, however will be required to attend Physical Impairment Athlete Evaluation at the competition to be eligible to compete.

Athletes with an Intellectual Impairment (Class 11) are required to hold an eligible Sport Inclusion Australia classification with a Sport Class Status of National Review (NR) or National Confirmed (NC) by the close of entries. Provisional (PrR) status classifications will not be eligible for entry. No classification will be offered at this event. Athletes must be a member of Sport Inclusion Australia to compete in this event. To arrange a classification please contact Sport Inclusion Australia by visiting their website: http://sportinclusionaustralia.org.au/ 

All Athletes in Classes 1-11 are advised to check whether they have been formally classified prior to entering the event. Refer to the Table Tennis Australia Classification master list.

Classification for Athletes with a physical impairment at this event
National level classification will be delivered for athletes with a physical impairment only.

All Athletes that require classification will be scheduled for an assessment on Saturday 6 July 2024 and athletes who are scheduled must be available from the beginning of the classification period.

Athletes will be notified of the schedule via email no later than 1 week prior to the event.

Athletes must meet the Minimal Disability Criteria as defined by the ITTF Classification Rules to be eligible to compete at this event. If an athlete does not meet minimal eligibility during the classification evaluation period, they will be allowed to compete in the rounds but will not be eligible for finals or medals.

If an athlete disagrees with the final classification decision, the athlete will compete at the Nationals under the classification results determined by the National classification panel at this event.

What happens during a National classification evaluation?
Classification generally includes the following steps:

Medical Assessment Assessment of impairment Athletes will be asked
questions about their impairment and will be required to perform physical tests
Technical Assessment Assessment of events specific skills As required, athletes will be asked to perform specific skills that are specific to their sport e.g. demonstrating a forehand
Competition Assessment Observation and assessment of sport specific movement As required, classifiers will observe athletes in competition

Athletes should refer to the Preparing for Classification document that will be provided with the classification schedule for full details of what to expect and what to bring to classification:

  • Prior to being seen by the classification panel at the event, athletes will be required to read, sign and upload an Athlete Evaluation Consent Form onto a dedicated Dropbox folder.
  • Athletes are advised to bring an athlete representative to classification (parent, coach or other). This is a requirement for athletes under 18 years.

Medical documentation requirements for athletes with a physical impairment selected to attend classification evaluation (physical Impairment) at the event:

  • All athletes attending classification (except those with an obvious limb deficiency) will need to upload onto a dedicated Dropbox folder a letter or report from a specialist (e.g. neurologist, orthopaedic or spinal specialist) stating their diagnosis, and the physical signs. This letter / report should not be more than 5 years old.
  • All athletes under 18 with short stature (Achondroplasia or other conditions causing short stature) must upload onto a dedicated Dropbox folder a letter from their treating specialist (endocrinologist, paediatric rehabilitation consultant or orthopaedic specialist) outlining the details of their diagnosis and an estimated likely terminal height (i.e. height as an adult).
