Designing and supporting an inclusive future.
What if the barriers people with disability face weren't about ability at all, but about systems designed without them in mind? That's the question driving everything we do.
The Matt Levy Empowerment Academy is an Australian social enterprise creating inclusive and accessible futures through disability-confident leadership training. Founded by five-time Paralympian Matthew Levy OAM, the Academy reinvests all profits into community programs supporting people with disability.
We're built on the conviction that lived experience with disability is a competitive advantage, not a barrier.
