The 25-year-old claimed the Regional Athlete of the Year, Team Athlete of the Year and the prestigious Male Athlete of the Year honour on Thursday night.

In the process he wrote his own little piece of history.

"I think it's only the second time in history a Paralympian has received these awards so I was a bit overwhelmed to be honest," he said. "But it's very exciting."

Those three awards will now sit proudly alongside his games achievements on the home mantelpiece.

He said he thought he might have won at least one of the awards he was nominated for, but to win all three was "something else".

"You get a bit of an idea when they ask you to attend these sorts of nights that you're a good chance of winning something, but there's certainly a lot of talent in the one room," he said.

World champion athletes such as James Magnussen and Jessica Fox have been previous winners of the awards with Magnussen again nominated this year along with Olympic diver Matthew Mitcham.

"It's another thing I've ticked off the list and it means a lot to me," Batt said.

While his success at Beijing in 2008 and London in 2012 will almost always be the pinnacle, Batt said his NSWIS honours were still important in their own way.

"It's really hard to better a gold medal performance at the Olympics, but these (NSW Institute of Sport) awards are still pretty special to me," he said. "I've been at the Institute of Sport for the best part of the last 10 years and it's definitely an honour to win something like this."

Batt is still in the off-season for wheelchair rugby, but said he would start preparing for the upcoming season from early December.

His focus would then start to switch to the Rio games in 2016.

"The next year and a half will go really quickly and before I know it, I'll be heading off to Rio," he said.
