Dylan Alcott Biography
Dylan Alcott AO—2022 Australian of the Year—is one of the world’s most celebrated and well recognized Paralympians, media personalities and disability advocates. A trailblazer on and off the court, Alcott made history in 2021 as the only man in any form of tennis to win the 'Golden Slam', winning the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, US Open and Paralympic Championship in the same year.
He is a rare dual-sport Paralympic Gold Medalist in both wheelchair basketball and wheelchair tennis as well as a 15-time Grand Slam singles champion in wheelchair tennis.
Since retiring from professional sport, Alcott has not slowed down in any way and his drive is stronger than ever when it comes to his purpose and mission: "to change perceptions so people with disability all over the world can live the lives they deserve to live." He is a global keynote speaker, actor, philanthropist, entrepreneur and all around game changer.
Whether speaking to global audiences or working in philanthropy, he brings a blend of authenticity, vulnerability, humor and hard-won insight. Alcott challenges others to think differently about adversity, accessibility, leadership and the everyday choices that enable people to thrive.

Dylan Alcott Speaking Topics
In this inspiring and down-to-earth keynote, Paralympian and 2022 Australian of the Year Dylan Alcott AO takes audiences far beyond elite sport and into the real moments that shaped his life. With his trademark honesty, humor, and heart, Dylan shares the lessons he’s learned from constantly challenging expectations—on the court, in the media, and while advocating for people with disabilities.
Through stories that are vulnerable, hilarious, and unexpectedly moving, Dylan shows why authenticity is a superpower, how vulnerability creates genuine human connection, and why reframing setbacks can turn adversity into perspective, strength, and purpose.
Audiences walk away feeling energized and grounded, with practical tools to:
- lead with authenticity
- navigate pressure and challenge with clarity
- build trust through vulnerability
- find meaning and purpose in the moments that matter
A transformative session for teams, leaders, and organizations ready to unlock deeper connection and performance.
In this powerful and uplifting keynote, Dylan Alcott AO shares the defining experiences that took him from feeling underestimated as a kid in a wheelchair to becoming a multi-sport Paralympic Gold Medallist, Golden Slam winner, and one of Australia’s most influential voices. With the authenticity, humor, and the unfiltered honesty he’s known for, Dylan reflects on the moments that built his resilience, challenged his identity, and ultimately shaped his purpose.
He opens up about the mindset shifts that helped him push through setbacks, back himself in rooms where no one looked like him, and turn barriers into opportunities—for himself and for others.
This keynote gives audiences practical insights into grit, courage, and growth, including how to:
- cultivate a mindset that rises to uncertainty
- build confidence in environments where you feel underestimated
- turn hardship into momentum and innovation
- lead with purpose, self-belief, and authenticity
More than a story of sporting triumph, this is a deeply human message about embracing who you are and growing into who you’re meant to be.
More than 1.3 billion people worldwide live with disability, and when you include their parents, partners, friends, and carers, that number rises to over 2.3 billion people—a global community representing an estimated $13 trillion in annual disposable income. This is not a niche audience. It’s one of the largest and most influential consumer groups in the world, and most organizations are missing out without even realising it.
In this energizing and eye-opening keynote, Dylan Alcott AO draws on his lived experience as a Paralympic gold medallist, tennis champion, media personality, and lifelong disability advocate to challenge everything you think you know about inclusion. With his trademark honesty, humor and unfiltered storytelling, Dylan spotlights both the barriers and the opportunities that show up every day for people with disability—on the court, in the workplace, and in the world.
Dylan digs into:
- why disability inclusion isn’t just the right thing to do, but one of the smartest business decisions an organization can make
- how inaccessible products, workplaces, or marketing unintentionally shut out billions in potential customers and talent
- the social and economic benefits unlocked when companies embrace accessibility, representation and universal design
- practical, achievable ways to shift from awareness to meaningful action
Dylan’s message is clear: inclusion is a competitive advantage, and the organizations that understand this now will be the ones shaping the future.
