Singer Suellen Cusack appointed AQ ambassador
2 Mar 2026
Ahead of new “You’ll Never Walk Alone” song recording release for World Autism Day, we have announced the appointment of acclaimed Australian singer Suellen Cusack as an ambassador for our #TrueColours Autism Month campaign.
As an official AQ ambassador, Suellen will support our #TrueColours Autism Month campaign, celebrating the individuality, strengths, and voices of autistic people and encouraging the community to see and celebrate people for who they truly are. Authenticity has always been at the centre of Suellen’s work. A proud regional Australian and mother of two, she has long used her voice and platform to advocate for greater understanding of autism.
The recorded track “You’ll Never Walk Alone”, in collaboration with with Opera Australia baritone Nathan Lay, will be released in the lead-up to World Autism Day on 2 April 2026. The song carries a message of solidarity for autistic people and families across Australia. The inspiration behind the recording is deeply personal. Suellen’s autistic son Gabriel, currently non-speaking, has re-shaped her understanding of courage, connection, and unconditional love.
“Through Gabriel I’ve witnessed the quiet strength that exists in so many autistic families,” Suellen said. “This song is my way of letting people know that they are seen, valued and never alone.”
To mark the release of the song and World Autism Day, AQ and Suellen invited autistic individuals and families to take part in the official music video for You’ll Never Walk Alone. The video will feature members of the autism community sharing moments of everyday life celebrating the diverse ways autistic people express their #TrueColours.
Autism Queensland CEO Frances Scodellaro said Suellen’s advocacy and lived experience made her a powerful voice for the community.
“She brings both extraordinary musical talent and a deeply personal connection to autism. Through the True Colours campaign, we are celebrating autistic voices, and Suellen’s song is a beautiful reminder that no family walks this journey alone.”
