An Evening for Change with Ashurst

In conversation with Dylan Alcott

Big love to our partners Ashurst for hosting “An Evening for Change”, curating a night of powerful conversations around the importance of accessibility and inclusion in the workplace.

Dylan Alcott AO, and other esteemed panellist delved into actionable strategies for organisations to attract and retain individuals living with disability, emphasising the imperative of fostering inclusive workplaces through ongoing dialogue and proactive initiatives. It was truly an honour to contribute to such a transformative evening.


We were fortunate to have two foundation recipients performing on the night which resulted in Ashurst raising over $27,000 for the Dylan Alcott Foundation. Funds go directly toward supporting young Australians with disability to achieve their dreams and we couldn't be more grateful for the support.
