Axel Peck

Stars of Wollongong 2026

⭐MEET THE STAR⭐

Axel Peck is a disability support worker and programs coordinator, known for being funny, caring and absolutely unforgettable. Whether he’s supporting participants to reach their goals, coordinating meaningful community activities, or creating inclusive spaces where everyone feels welcome, Axel brings positivity and genuine heart to everything he does. His favourite part of the job? Making people feel confident, connected, and like they truly belong. 

Outside of work, Axel volunteers with Nipper’s 2 Flipper’s, continuing his commitment to helping people of all abilities thrive. His passion for community shines in every interaction — he’s approachable, uplifting, and the kind of person who instantly puts others at ease. 

This year, Axel is stepping onto the Stars of Wollongong – Dance for Cancer stage with three clear motivations: to honour his grandfather, who passed from bowel cancer; to raise funds for an organisation that supports countless families; and to prove that if he can put himself out there, anyone can. His message is simple: courage isn’t about being fearless — it’s about showing up anyway. 

Going into the competition, Axel’s biggest strength is the unwavering support of his family, friends and clients. Their encouragement means everything and knowing they’ll be cheering from the audience gives him the fuel he needs. His biggest nerves? The crowd, the possibility of making a fool of himself, and not raising enough money — but he’s going to 'bring it' pom poms and all. 

🎉 Fun Facts About Axel 

  • Grew up dancing to Just Dance and So Fresh CDs — so naturally, incredible choreography is pending. 

  • His go‑to move? A mix between thinking his bum is Megan Thee Stallion‑level iconic and unapologetic shoulder‑banging. 

  • Songs that get him instantly dancing: Gasolina and Brazilian funk artists like Pedro Sampaio. 

  • Loves musiccars, and embracing other cultures. 

His dream dance partner? Zara Larsson. 

His signature move? The POM BOM — guaranteed to make an appearance on the night. 

For fundraising, Axel is planning rafflesdrag bingo, and collaborations with local restaurants and bars — all with his signature flair.

Axel, you are one of the kindest and most genuine people I know. The way you show up for your community, your clients, friends and family is something truly special. Your heart, humour and ability to make everyone feel seen and valued is rare. What you’re doing for Cancer Council and in honour of your grandfather takes real courage. I know you’ll absolutely smash it on that stage, pom poms and all. Proud to support such a beautiful soul.
