3:09Now PlayingCongratulations to Australian of the Year 2022, Dylan Alcott.
As a teenager, tennis player Dylan Alcott was bullied over his disability and "dreaded being in a wheelchair".
Now 31, Dylan has made history as the first man to achieve a Golden Slam, using his success on the tennis court to reshape perceptions around disability through the Dylan Alcott Foundation, Get Skilled Access and AbilityFest — Australia's first accessible and fully inclusive music festival.
"It may shock a lot of people but the thing I am proudest of now is my disability and I love it."
