Humanity At Heart
I am Robyn Smith, a female leader in sport and a dedicated advocate for Inclusion for All – Humanity at Heart.
For nearly four decades, I’ve championed athletes with a disability, especially those with an intellectual impairment, across grassroots, elite and global platforms.
I proudly serve on the IPC Governing Board, lead Sport Inclusion Australia and contribute to the Brisbane 2032 Organising Committee. At Paris 2024, I was honoured to carry the Paralympic torch and witnessed performances of sport – reaffirming the unifying power of sport.
I bring inclusive leadership, deep understanding of IPC systems and vast experience – as someone who’s walked beside athletes and people with a disability – advocating for inclusion, building pathways and ensuring no one is left behind by working alongside sport, families and communities. I’ve also worked across regions, including Oceania, Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia and the Middle East, ensuring no nation is left behind.
I stand for equity, access and action, and I’m ready to continue serving the Paralympic Movement with purpose and pride.
Please Vote for Me: I seek re-election to the IPC Governing Board to continue championing Inclusion for All – Humanity at Heart.
Let’s build a movement where every athlete belongs, every nation is respected and Humanity stays at the Heart of every decision.
