🏆 A very proud moment for Alex and Above & Beyond Disability Support Services! 🏆
Anyone who knows Alex knows that he would never share something like this about himself… so I’m taking the opportunity to do it for him! ❤️
Earlier this month, Alex, Director of Above & Beyond Disability Support Services, was incredibly honoured to receive "The Most Outstanding Contribution by a Young Person in Australia in 2026” award at the Australian Enablement Awards.
This is a national award, recognising the contribution Alex has made within the disability sector and the work he continues to do advocating for, supporting and empowering people from all walks of life.
Those of us who work alongside Alex see the passion, determination and countless hours he puts into AAB, our participants, our team and the wider community. Much of what he does happens quietly behind the scenes, without any expectation of recognition, which makes seeing him receive an award like this even more special.
And incredibly, the journey may not end here! 🌏
Each winner from the Australian Awards is given the opportunity to be nominated for the Global Awards, being held in London later this year. 🇬🇧
Regardless of what happens next, this is already an achievement worth celebrating.
We are all incredibly proud of you, Alex, and everything you continue to achieve. You’ve built Above & Beyond around a genuine belief that people deserve to be heard, supported and given every opportunity to thrive — and this recognition is a reflection of that commitment.
Congratulations, Alex! 🏆💙
