Tapper was the first Australian athlete to take part in a Summer Olympics and Paralympics when she competed at Rio 2016. 

She was born with a brachial plexus injury.

This is when the nerves between her neck and right shoulder and has Erb's palsy, which has resulted in her right arm being significantly weakened to the point she has only 30 percent use.

The Gold Coast will host the largest para-Commonwealth Games with 300 athletes expected across 38 events in seven sports.

"It's great that the Gold Coast (Games) is leading the way with inclusivity," Tapper said.

"I have been quite lucky to spend time with able-bods and Paras (athletes), but now to be able to hang out with them together in one event, it’s so good,” she said.

Tapper will compete in the women's team, singles, doubles, mixed doubles and TT6-10 singles events.

"I'm here ready to fight for every ball and show some good Aussie fighting spirit, and the rest will take care of itself," she said.

"Hopefully, I get up on the podium and that will be an absolute dream."

Tapper starts her 2018 Commonwealth Games campaign tomorrow with the women's team event.
