What Medical Employment Classifications (MECs) are eligible for the ASP and why do I need to supply this?
To ensure fair and safe participation in the Adaptive Sports Program activities, all applicants must disclose their current MEC status or status at discharge. This information helps assess your medical readiness and suitability for participation in training camps, competitions, and related events.
Current Serving Members: If you are classified as J31 or above, you are encouraged to apply. Your application will be reviewed in consultation with medical staff to ensure your participation aligns with your rehabilitation plan.
Former Serving Members: Please provide your last known MEC status if available. If unknown, you may still apply, and your eligibility will be assessed based on your current health and functional capacity.
Pregnancy (J33): Applicants with a J33 classification are advised to consult with medical staff before applying, as eligibility may vary depending on timing, other underlying medical conditions and medical advice.
If your MEC status is likely to change before the program begins (May 2026), please indicate this in your application.
