Australia's Paralympians have continued their remarkable record at the Winter Paralympic Games, with the team's performance in Milano Cortina, meaning Australia has won a medal at every Games since 1992.
Ben Tudhope won a silver and bronze medal in the Men's Snowboard Cross and the Men's Banked Slalom SB-LL2 events, respectively.
Australia delivered strong performances across the Games, with 10, top-10 finishes across the Paralympics, including the two medal performances.
The team's performance follows the Albanese Government's record investment in Para sport, including a doubling of funding to $54.9 million through the Para Uplift, which is removing systemic and structural performance barriers for Paralympic athletes.
Milano Cortina athletes and coaches also benefitted from an additional $2 million to help ensure the team's high-performance, operational and medical needs are met, enabling athletes perform at their best when it matters most.
Since the Beijing 2022 Winter Games, the Government has invested $37.5 million in high performance winter programs through the Australian Sports Commission, with an additional $3.3 million to directly support athletes through dAIS.
