Disability Done Different: Candid Conversations

Come spend an hour in the world of Kurt Fearnley (honestly, you'll wish it was longer!) where we discuss fear, resilience, pain and pride..you know, small talk. Oh, and we discuss Kurt's new podcast about the NDIS - 'A Nation Changed'.

We kick off the new year with David Militz, CEO of Carers SA, talking about some of the hot buttons in the carers space.

In a conversation you will want to join, Roland, Vanessa and Evie wrap up 2020 with reflections about a year we are already itching to forget (and Roland can now kiss his potential career in the QS Commission goodbye).

This week we speak with SDA sensei Brent Woolgar (he's one of our own and we're damn proud to say so). Discussing what it's like raising identical twin boys with nonidentical needs and why Assistive Technology isn't just for the big guys.

This week we have Charmaine Fraser, Director of Aurora Coordination and DSC's newest expert presenter in Support Coordination, discussing her experience of the NDIS and its surprising parallels to ballroom dancing.

This week we speak with Sam Connor, fierce advocate and self-professed "social media assassin" about safeguards, self-advocacy and why she doesn't care if you think she's nice.

This week we're talking to Kirsten Deane, Campaign Director of Every Australian Counts, author of the groundbreaking Shut Out report and all round legend. If you're feeling a bit flat and need a reminder why you work in this sector, listen to this episode. You won't be sorry.

This week on COVID conversations we speak with Annie Rily, CEO of Carpentaria in the Northern Territory as she leads her organisation out of lock down and into a brave new world.
