Amy Whalley

Australian Disability Network
Chief Executive Officer
ABOUT PRESENTER

Amy joined Australian Disability Network as the CEO in September 2025. She previously served as Deputy CEO and Relationship Manager from 2012 to 2022.

She has extensive experience working with business and government influencing disability inclusion practice and policy, in Australia and UK.

Before rejoining, Amy was the Head of Strategy for Valuable 500, UK-based not-for-profit with a global mission to end disability exclusion.

She also held a senior role with the Australian Institute of Company Directors where she developed and led a change program to embed accessibility and disability confidence across the organisation.

Amy’s passion for disability inclusion is personal, stemming from her family’s lived experience of disability. This passion particularly informed the early part of her career, where she helped establish an independent living service for adults with intellectual disabilities in London and worked in sport development at Special Olympics Australia.

She is a strong believer in the power of collaboration for change and impact.
