Tonight, a new Australian of the Year will be named. Here’s a look back at some of the defining moments of Dylan Alcott’s tenure.
Source:The support for Alcott in the stands was phenomenal and host broadcaster Nine Network even held back TV news bulletins across the country to stick with his match until the end."The Australian Open, I love you so much ... thank you for changing my life but also backing someone who is disabled to be the front of your brand," Alcott, the then world No.1, said.
Pointing to a report from his company Get Skilled Access, Alcott said children aged under six who had been on the scheme for four years had "double the amount of friends" of those who weren't on the NDIS."It's so people with disability can have a shower, get out of aged care facilities and … get the support in their home so they can get out and do whatever they want to do and start working.
Alcott said just 54 per cent of people with disability were employed, something that had not changed in 28 years. Dylan Alcott speaks to the media at the launch of disability employment website ‘The Field’ flanked by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, National Disability Insurance Scheme Minister Bill Shorten and Social Services Minister Amanda Rishworth, at Parliament House in Canberra in November 2022.During an appearance at the Jobs and Skills Summit in Canberra in September 2022, Alcott said people with disability were 90 per cent more likely to be equal to, or more productive, than able-bodied people.
The couple sparked debate in June after sharing a video of Alcott using an app on his phone to control a vibrating sex toy.
