Clark, currently Netball Queensland chief executive, will replace Lynn Anderson, who is stepping down after six years in the role.

She will aim to build on a successful Tokyo 2020 Paralympics campaign with her first two major tasks being the Beijing 2022 Winter Games in March and next year’s Birmingham Commonwealth Games.

But the home Games in Brisbane are already a key priority in terms of planning over the next five years.

"We want to make sure we've got that talent pipeline so that [in] Brisbane 2032 … we'd love to be number one on that medal tally," Clark told abc.net.au.

Sydney 2000 was Australia's most successful Paralympics as the host nation finished top of the medals table with 63 golds, 39 silvers and 47 bronzes.

PA president Jock O'Callaghan said Clark would be leading the organisation through a crucial period.

"The next five years can determine the success of the Australian Paralympic movement for the following 20 years," O'Callaghan told abc.net.au.

"This role will carve PA's path towards Brisbane 2032 and it must be a catalyst for new standards in every facet."

As well as building on the momentum of Brisbane 2032, Clark's focus will be on increasing participation in Para sport, as well as identifying and removing barriers to engagement.

"The Paralympic movement has done amazing things and we've come forward in leaps and bounds, and I certainly believe my role is about amplifying this amazing base," Clark said.

The Tokyo 2020 Paralympics Opening Ceremony drew a record audience for the Seven Network last August, reaching 1.94 million people and ranking number one in its time slot for all demographics.

It smashed the previous record set at the Beijing Games in 2008 by 42 per cent.

Clark said she wanted PA to take advantage of this success for upcoming Paralympic events ahead of Brisbane 2032.

"From a broadcast engagement perspective, the Paralympics always performs very well," she said.

"I see a unique opportunity to [further] drive innovative commercialisation at a time when inspiring stories, strong role models and meaningful partnerships have never been more important."

Meanwhie Clark praised the efforts of those who managed Australia's Tokyo contingent, which consisted of 179 athletes and 168 staff.

It was Australia's largest Paralympic team outside of Sydney 2000.

Australia finished eighth on the medal tally, with 21 gold, 29 silver and 30 bronze medals.

"What a fantastic effort to protect the health and wellbeing of our athletes [in Tokyo] and deliver an 80-medal haul," Clark said.

"We want to continue to grow, to tell our story, to build more resources so we can have more athletes participate.”
