Voyager is an inclusive organisation that is committed to providing opportunities to all people to enjoy the health and wellbeing benefits of tennis and other sports.
We support those with physical & mental disabilities, poor mental health and groups who are disadvantaged and offer heavily subsidised services and court hire.
Please get in touch with us if you would like to express interest in the following opportunities:
Group tennis programs
Our qualified team of tennis professionals are well equipped to groups of students who would like to enjoy the benefits of tennis.
Programs are adapted for differing levels of mental and physical disabilities and are delivered in a friendly and nurturing environment.
Court Hire
Please reach out to us if you are a disability or disadvantaged community group who would like to access our tennis or multi-sport facilities.
We offer heavily subsidised rates to those in need and will be there to help facilitate the sessions as well if required.
Competitions
We support the delivery of inclusive tournaments and events such as the Special Olympics and World Pride Open at our venues and encourage participation and involvement. Some participants join these events and training to have fun, make friends and enjoy the warmth of a welcoming community, while others are focused on winning and receiving medals.
All these events welcome support and Voyager Tennis is active within the tennis community to promote these important events and help recruit volunteers and other resources.

Inclusion & Diversity Testimonials
What our course participants say:
“Our son had his birthday party at Voyager Tennis. We were extremely happy with the service – Lochie responded to communications quickly and he was very well organised and thorough. The kids had a great time and enjoyed the activities run by Lochie and Jackson. Highly recommended to anyone considering a tennis party!!”Â
“Voyager was instrumental in the success of our recent Lions Australia Charity Pickleball Event at The Willis Centre. With their generous support, including complimentary court and clubhouse hire, paddles, balls, and coaching by Australian Pickleball Champion Ryan Henry, we hosted over 90 participants for a day of pickleball fun and festivities. The dedicated pickleball clubhouse provided an excellent setting for our guests including a welcome party, and a BBQ. Our heartfelt thanks to Voyager Pickleball for their vital role in making this charity event a resounding success!”Â
“We extend our gratitude to Voyager Tennis for their partnership and unwavering support with organising a successful and memorable Special Olympics NSW Tennis Tournament for both the competitors and spectators in 2022 and 2023. Their commitment to inclusivity and dedication to creating a positive impact in our athletes’ lives are greatly appreciated. We look forward to many more successful collaborations in the future.”Â
“Natalio has been my son’s tennis coach for the past 3 months. He was recommended to us due to his career as a psychologist specializing in working with kids on the autism spectrum. Natalio understands the importance of first establishing a connection of friendship and trust with my son before focusing on tennis coaching itself. The lessons have proceeded in a much more fluid and adaptable manner. Throughout this period, Natalio has skillfully managed my son’s mood swings and behavioral challenges that can arise in a child on the autism spectrum. He has the confidence and experience to turn things around and deliver successful coaching sessions. I have recommended Natalio to family and friends and plan to continue doing so.”Â
“We have been fortunate to commit to a community partnership for a successful 50-week Social Tennis program that incorporates coaching at their Artarmon Tennis Courts. This has been extremely beneficial to members of the community who have experienced mental health challenges, especially as we arrive at Mental Health Month in October. The active benefits the players have become aware of include increased attendance, improved fitness, enhanced gameplay, stronger social connections, better teamwork, improved personal fitness, increased hydration, enhanced cognitive behaviours, refined court skills, perfected individual techniques, improved communication within the group, and with other members at the clubhouse. Of course, it has also contributed to general well-being on a daily basis. We are very grateful for Voyager’s generosity and look forward to ongoing arrangements.”Â
