EPISODE 162 - Lived Experience of an SDA Participant.
Today, we have Minh sitting down with Brendon, courtesy of ADAPT HOUSING who have allowed use of their office due to lack of accessibility for Brendon at our Woolloongabba office in Brisbane. Adapt's office is situated on Eagle St, Brisbane CBD (a high-rise commercial office building) and makes it easier for us to meet up regularly to chat SDA. #thanks #adapt
Brendon is a new team member who brings his Lived Experience of being an SDA Participant onto The SDA HOUSING Podcast. We are so looking forward to the energy that he brings to our awesome team. Brendon recently started working with our company, as PARTICIPANT LEAD, and he wants to use the platform of this channel to show his passion for advocacy work in the NDIS space to help Participants achieve what he got himself, which is 'Choice and Control' as an SDA funded Participant. What he doesn't want to see, is for other Participants to go through years of pain and stress, in fighting the NDIA at the AAT, like he himself had to endure. We know his story is inspirational, maybe not to himself, but definitely to those around him who had to watch from afar.
This episode is all about Brendon, and for him to tell his story (past and present) and his thoughts about the challenges of daily living for Participants. Its important that we as outsiders hear more from the perspective of Participants, and it is our honest hope that you our listeners set aside some time to listen to this interview with Brendon, and to think of the other 18,000 odd Participants who are funded for SDA, but most of which do not have the opportunity to live in an SDA home. There are 7,000 SDA funded Participants living in an SDA home, but another 18,000 are not)
Affordable and accessible housing for people with disabilities is difficult to secure. Many Participants face obstacles to qualify for SDA housing, let alone SIL housing, and they have to go through discrimination and exclusion constantly. Therefore, we all need to play a part in society by helping those that are less fortunate than us, and to think of the "outcome" and not the "income" (as investors) in this disability world. This is what Brendon's goal is, by being an advocate for Participants who may not have a voice to be heard.
This is why Brendon has joined NDIS PROPERTY AUSTRALIA & THE SDA HOUSING PODCAST, and that is to be heard.
