Serious workplace injury survivor — a raw and powerful safety message that statistics alone can never deliver.
Alan Newey survived one of the most severe workplace injuries you can imagine — an accident that put him in hospital for months, took him through years of rehabilitation, and fundamentally changed the lives of everyone around him. His presentations are built entirely on that experience: what happened on the day, what it meant for his family and workmates, and what he learned about workplace culture, complacency and the human consequences of safety failures that the data alone can never convey.
Alan doesn't speak from a textbook. He speaks from his own memory, and the effect on audiences is consistently profound. Safety managers, site leaders and frontline workers who have sat through dozens of compliance presentations say that hearing Alan's story changes something in how they think about the workplace — not because he lectures them about what they should do, but because he shows them what is at stake when complacency takes hold.
For workplace safety events, toolbox talks, leadership programs and WorkSafe-related engagements, Alan Newey is one of the most powerful speakers available. His willingness to speak honestly about the full arc of his experience — including the darkest periods of his rehabilitation, the impact on his family, and the road back to purpose — makes him an unforgettable presence on any program.
Alan Newey is a keynote speaker based in Victoria who speaks on inspiration and motivation. Book through Executive Speakers Australia.
Information was from the heart, confronting and passionate.Greenham Gippsland
Excellent. Alan Newey spoke to our staff about his injury experience which included physical, mental and emotional. He captured the audience for a whole hour and there were so many questions being asked of Alan post speaking. Staff are still taking about Alan and enjoyed his talk in the workplace.City Services OH&S Advisor, City of Greater Geelong
Alan Newey recently presented at the Moyne Shire Council Health and Wellbeing Day held for our Construction and Maintenance Staff. It is a testament to Alan’s story and his outstanding presentation skills that not one of the 60+ staff in attendance made a single peep during his presentation, despite having undertaken training sessions all day. The presentation was extremely relevant and thought provoking, and engaged these staff members completely as the message was coming from “one of them”. I would highly recommend this training to everyone.Moyne Shire Council
