Ian Mayer OAM

Chatswood & Ryde Toyota

"If you’re in a position to support others, you should always try. Every step we take helps deliver early intervention, therapy, and opportunity — and that’s something I’m proud to be part of."

Jason Phillips

Protecht

"At Protecht, we’re all about stepping up: for our customers, for each other, and this September, for a cause that really matters. Whether you’re walking, running, dancing, or counting your coffee runs as cardio, every step counts!"

Frank Fillmann

Salesforce

"Steptember is always a highlight at Salesforce. It gets our whole team moving, brings us closer together, and helps Cerebral Palsy Alliance provide life changing research and support. Fundraising that makes real impact is worth lacing up for!"

Peter Burns

Accenture

"Accenture has proudly partnered with Cerebral Palsy Alliance for many years.

Steptember is a standout part of that partnership. It brings our people together around a common purpose, while adding a healthy dose of friendly competition and fun. It's inspiring to see our teams embrace the challenge, support one another, and contribute to the incredible impact CPA delivers for people with cerebral palsy.

It's a reminder that when we combine purpose, teamwork and action, even small steps can make a meaningful difference"

Andrew Ballantyne

JLL

"I'm thrilled to be JLL's CEO Stepper for Steptember 2026 - marking our 11th year supporting this incredible cause.

Steptember makes a real difference. Every step we take helps Cerebral Palsy Alliance provide life-changing support for people who deserve every opportunity to thrive.

This initiative perfectly captures what JLL is all about - connecting with our communities and championing inclusion. It's energising to be part of something bigger than our day-to-day work.

I'm challenging our entire JLL team to lace up and join me. See you out there."

Charlie Sheppeard

Xero

"I'm really pleased to be part of CEO Steppers this year.

Steptember is something Xero has proudly supported for a number of years, and it’s a great way to get moving, bring people together, and support a cause that makes a real difference for children and families impacted by cerebral palsy.

At Xero, wellbeing and backing each other matter, so I’m proud to step up and be part of it.”

Jon Sutton

ScotPac

"I’m proud to say our organisation has supported Steptember for several years, and we’re thrilled to be taking part again this year. Steptember is more than just a fitness challenge, it’s a powerful way to come together, get moving, and raise vital funds for cerebral palsy research and support.

It reflects our values of inclusion, wellbeing, and community impact. Each year, our team steps up with energy and heart, and I can't wait to see what we achieve together this time around."

Vicki Doyle

Rest Super

“Many of our members are young, and a lot of them are on their feet all day in retail, so 10,000 steps a day is just an ordinary Tuesday for them. I suspect I'll find it harder than they do.

Every step raises money for children and families living with cerebral palsy, and that's well worth a sore month.

I’m proud to be stepping up alongside our people at Rest this September.”
