Luke Bailey

2025 Expo Ambassador

In 2025, Luke Bailey, a remarkable athlete and an inspiring figure in the world of wheelchair racing, joined us as the ambassador for the 2025 Hunter Disability and Workability Expo.

Luke’s journey began at the age of 12 when he was introduced to wheelchair racing. From that moment, he was determined to compete at the Paralympic Games.

The 2026 Hunter Disability Expo Ambassador will be launched closer to the event.
