CHANTEL LEWIS

I am an experienced and values-driven sport inclusion leader with over 20 years of expertise spanning Australia, Oceania, and international sport systems. My career has been shaped by both professional leadership and lived experience-as a dedicated wife and mother of two, and as a lifelong advocate for disability rights and social justice. I bring a proven track record in inclusive sport policy, international program delivery, a strong understanding of athlete classification systems, and capacity building through strategic partnerships. From leading DFAT-funded initiatives in the Pacific to securing grants and building strong relationships across government, sport, and community sectors, I have consistently delivered inclusive, and sustainable outcomes. At the heart of my leadership is a commitment to creating equitable, safe, and accessible sporting environments for all. My passion for inclusion extends well beyond my professional life-I strive to help shape a world where all individuals can thrive without barriers. I bring this same energy, empathy, and expertise to every role I take on.
