The Victorian Inclusive Championship is the state equivalent Vic Open for golfers with a disability in Victoria. As a World Ranking for Golfers with a Disability event (WR4GD), the Victorian Inclusive championship is played concurrently with the Vic Open, connecting into a global tournament structure run by the International Golf Federation and EDGA.

Played under the same conditions as the Vic Open field, players contest 36-holes.

Participants from across Australia who are vision impaired, amputees, neurological and players with intellectual disabilities come together under the same rules and contest the gross, net and stableford events.

The Australian Wheelchair Championship will return - a 36-hole championship for seated golfers who play golf through assistive equipment such as the Ottobock Paragolfer, an all-terrain power chair designed specifically for golf. The only event of its type in the southern hemisphere!
