Meet Dylan Alcott, AO: Disability Advocate, Paralympian, and Former Australian of the Year

A Historic Paralympian Achievement


Dylan Alcott, AO, is a global icon in sports and disability advocacy. Renowned for his remarkable achievements as a Paralympian, Dylan made history in 2021 by becoming the first male tennis player to secure the Golden Slam, capturing all four Grand Slam titles and a Paralympic Gold Medal within a single year. His journey began with overcoming a tumor wrapped around his spinal cord at birth, sparking a lifelong mission to empower people with disabilities.

Championing Disability Inclusion

Beyond his sports accolades, Dylan is a passionate advocate for disability inclusion. He founded the Dylan Alcott Foundation, which offers grants and mentoring to young Australians with disabilities, and Get Skilled Access, a consultancy firm dedicated to promoting disability inclusion. His latest initiative, The Field Jobs, connects job seekers with disabilities to employers, facilitating greater employment opportunities.

Creating Accessible Experiences

Dylan’s commitment to fostering an inclusive world is also reflected in Ability Fest, the world’s only fully accessible and inclusive music festival.

Inspiring Keynote at KAILO Summit

Dylan’s keynote at the KAILO Summit promises to inspire attendees to transcend limitations and unlock their full potential.
