Underlining their commitment to health, well being and inclusivity, Tennis Australia has announced Bupa as the Official Healthcare Partner and Digital Health Partner of the Australian Open in 2026.
In addition, Bupa will be the naming partner of All Abilities Day (Jan 27) with the company believing sport pays a vital role when it comes to the social, physical and mental wellbeing of Australians.
Announcing the partnership, Tennis Australia’s Chief Commercial Officer Cedric Cornelis said: “We’re proud to partner with Bupa to champion health and inclusion at the Australian Open.
“Whether it’s through All Abilities Day or offering more ways for people to pick up a racquet, this collaboration is about ensuring the AO continues to lead the way in creating a healthier, more inclusive sporting experience for everyone.”
Bupa APAC Chief Executive Officer Nick Stone said: “As the Official Healthcare Partner and Digital Health partner of the Australian Open 2026, we feel privileged to be supporting the wellbeing of fans both on and off the court, and elevating the importance of inclusive and preventive health.
“Through the Open, we want to encourage Australians to take steps towards healthier lifestyles and showcase how technology, including on our Blua platform, can make healthcare more accessible, connected and personalised.”
Kicking off the relationship with TA, Bupa is also the presenting partner of the inaugural All Abilities Week, taking place from 20 to 26 October 2025 to celebrate inclusive tennis for people with a disability.
All Abilities Day at the Australian open 2026 will showcase many of tennis’ disability pathways across the precinct including wheelchair tennis, blind and low vision tennis, parastanding tennis, intellectual disabilities and autism tennis, and deaf and hard of hearing tennis.
During the Australian Open, Bupa customers will have access to two-for-one ground passes Monday to Friday.
