Helping remove the barrier between organisations and people with disability.
About us
What would your organisation achieve if it welcomed every ability? Allow everyone to be at their best, and there’s a butterfly effect. Boosted creativity and diversity of thought, for example. Organisations focused on disability engagement grow their sales 2.9x faster and profits 4.1x faster than the competition too (Accenture, 2020). As our founder Dylan Alcott knows, life isn’t always accessible and inclusive for a person with disability. As a three-time Paralympic gold medallist and multiple tennis grand slam champion, he also knows how much is possible given the opportunity. Get Skilled Access’s purpose is to create a new generation of disability inclusion that is equitable for all.
