Tim McCallum

Ambassador, Assistance Dogs Australia

ADATim McCallum has served as Ambassador of Assistance Dogs Australia since 2005 and became a director in 2016. Tim is a long-term client of Assistance Dogs Australia, receiving his first physical assistance dog, Buster, in late 1999 after a diving accident left him a quadriplegic, with no use of his hands or fingers and the use of a wheelchair for mobility. He now has his 3rd assistance dog, as Roxy succeeded Buster, and now Casper serves as his faithful companion. Tim is an acclaimed singer and speaker known globally, with over 25 years’ experience on the stage. More importantly, these have been opportunities to represent the disability community and showcase the talents of those who strive through adversity. His advocacy work and attitude to spreading a positive message about disability have earned him the following honours: Australian Humanitarian Award, Centenary Medal recipient, Young Australian of the Year finalist, and he is currently National Ambassador of Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Week and International Day for People With A Disability Ambassador.
