3 September 2026 - Have You Always Dreamt of Representing Australia on the World Stage?

This is your chance to be on the start line at the Paralympics in LA 2028 or Brisbane 2032 - as a Pilot or Guide.

The Victorian Institute of Sport Para Cycling and Para Triathlon Program, together with the Para Sport Unit, is seeking Road and Track Tandem Cycling Pilots, and Triathlon Guides, to join our High Performance program supporting Elite Vision Impaired Athletes. If you have a strong background in Cycling, Triathlon, Running or Swimming and want to compete as part of a High Performance team, we'd love to hear from you.

No prior Piloting or Guiding experience is required - just a strong athletic background, and we'll provide the training and support to get you race ready.

Tandem Cycling Pilots and Triathlon Guides are integral members of the athlete's performance team, training and competing together at State, National and International level. Tandem Pilots ride as the front rider on a Road or Track Tandem, working in close partnership with a Vision Impaired Athlete as stoker.

Triathlon Guides partner with their Athlete across all three legs of a race. Swimming tethered, riding as the Tandem Guide on the bike leg, and Running connected by a short tether - matching pace and communicating course conditions throughout.

Are you a confident, capable athlete with a strong background in Cycling, Triathlon, Running or Swimming, who are reliable, communicate well, and are committed to performing at a high level? Then contact VIS now, and maybe we will see you in action at the major international tournaments representing Australia. Fill in the form below to show your interest.
