Lite n’ Easy has announced a new partnership with 2022 Australian of the Year Dylan Alcott AO.
Mr Alcott is a four-time Paralympic gold medallist in two different sports (wheelchair basketball and tennis), a 23-time Grand Slam champion in quad wheelchair tennis and the only male tennis player to complete the Golden Slam in quad singles, winning all four majors and the Paralympics in 2021.
He says his life purpose is to change perceptions so that people with disability, all over the world, can get out and live the lives they deserve to live. Since retirement from professional sport, Mr Alcott pursues this purpose as a television and podcast presenter, an author, an acclaimed public speaker and advocate, an actor, a business owner and as the founder of the Dylan Alcott Foundation.
“From my lived experience with a disability and cooking meals, having nutritionally sound, great tasting ready-to-eat meals delivered to my door is an important foundation for choice and an independent lifestyle,” says Mr Alcott. “Lite n’ Easy really helps me be the best version of myself every day.”
Mr Alcott is an advocate and active campaigner for NDIS participants and ensuring the scheme continues to deliver and optimise the choice and control and the much-needed services they need.
The partnership with Lite n’ Easy comes at an opportune time with the company recently introducing a new co-payment option to make Lite n’ Easy services more accessible for plan managed, self-managed and agency managed NDIS participants who have meal preparation and delivery included in their plan.
“With our new co-payment option, eligible NDIS participants can now pay just 30% upfront for their Lite n’ Easy orders once set up, making it easier and affordable to enjoy nutritious, convenient meals and a more independent healthy life,” says Lite n’ Easy Head Dietitian Ashleigh Jones.
