I am honoured to accept the title of Australian of the Year 2025. This award belongs to the MND community, the countless Australians who have joined this fight and my wife Jan, our children & their partners, who have supported me every step of the way.

Many thanks to @DylanAlcott, speaker at our last Ithaka Lecture on Monday 11 November. Dylan kept us entertained and impressed us with his endeavour to help people with disabilities live the life they deserve to lead.
.@DylanAlcott's latest project saw him travel overseas to meet people with disabilities, and he tells us why his travels gave him hope for cultural change around disability.
Sporting legend Dylan Alcott is the brains behind Ability Fest, and he tells us how this music festival is accessible for all... and if he has FOMO about not going to the Paralympics in Paris.
The line-up for Australia’s most accessible music festival, Ability Fest, dropped today. @DylanAlcott talked us through the stacked lineup and who he’s most excited to see.
Ability Fest is back & bigger than ever, expanding to Meanjin/Brisbane, & opening to ages 16 to welcome more people than ever before 🎉

Dylan Alcott is empowering students living with disability by donating to support a new scholarship at @Flinders. We're excited to announce the @DylanalcottFDN Scholarship is now open to current students, to help achieve their dreams in further education👉 bit.ly/4biposW
One of my first ever interviews when I started my tennis career was with Nathan Templeton. What a bloody ripping bloke. Lovely on and off camera. Huge supporter of the Paralympic movement too when a lot of others weren’t. Heartbreaking ❤️
Just when we thought we couldn't love the Bump cast more, Dylan Alcott and Steph Tisdell join the party! 💛 The brand new season of the Stan Original Series Bump is now streaming, only on Stan. #BumpOnStan#StanOriginals
He won four gold medals, competed in two paralympic sports, was Australian of the Year, and founded a non-profit for young people with disabilities. Now Dylan Alcott wants to become redundant. Here’s why. forbes.com.au/news/leadershi…
