Hazel Hockley

Hazel has been leading the way in the world of sport for the visually impaired since her diagnosis with retinitis pigmentosa in 2000, recording an impressive CV of success as a competitor – state, national and international - in both ten-pin bowling and archery.

Since joining Waverley City Archers in 2014, Hazel has proven to be an outstanding administrator as well, going from committee member to vice-president to president. Along the way, she became Australia's first vision-impaired coach and, as a member of the board of Archery Victoria, organised major events like the World Archery Oceania 2023 Para Grand Prix.
