Bill Cooper, who lives with Down syndrome, has been announced as one of Australia’s official Ambassadors for International Day of People with Disability 2026.
Bill wants people to see him for who he is – a hardworking, independent and loving person who happens to have Down syndrome.
He has built a life he is incredibly proud of. He works in retail, prepares his own meals, cooks, cleans and manages his daily routine independently.
That confidence has also helped Bill build an audience online – Bill is one half of ‘The Brother Boys’ with his brother-in-law, Kyran.
Bill and Kyran first met a decade ago when Kyran started dating Bill’s sister, Lucy, and started filming videos to keep themselves occupied during lockdown.
Their videos have earned them a combined 2 million + followers on social media and over 50 million views on TikTok.
Bill says he just wants to “make people smile, crack jokes and have a dance.”
International Day of People with Disability is recognised on December 3rd, 2026.
