The Sync Leadership program was founded over 10 years ago by Sarah Pickthall and Jo Verrent – two leaders with disability in the UK – to develop leadership for those with disability and/or who are d/Deaf in arts, culture, heritage and media. Sync Leadership has been successfully rolled out globally, including in Australia in 2014, 2015 and 2021 via an online format.
Taking part in Sync Leadership Australia will help you develop new awareness and skills and refresh your confidence to progress your professional arts career.
Access Arts is delighted to bring the Sync Leadership program back to Australia in 2022.
‘Sync is not about the job you have but it is about your leadership potential and how to harness it.’
Sarah Pickthall, Co-Founder, Sync Leadership
The Sync Leadership program supports participants to reflect on their leadership potential in relation to the diversity of their lived experience of disability, d/Deaf and/or long-term health condition. *
This fantastic opportunity is available to eight emerging and established leaders who identify as experiencing disability and/or who are d/Deaf across Australia. The program is run by leaders with disability and is delivered as a series of online modules, with full access support provided for the individual needs of all participants.

*A note on language – the language around disability globally is nuanced and varied, shifting from country to country, community to community. By Deaf and disabled we include all those self-identifying as experiencing barriers due to impairment within the societies in which they live. This includes those with lived experience of learning disability, mental health experiences, and those who identify as neurodivergent.
