Choice and Control is back, talking to people with disability from across Queensland about their lives and achievements, as well as accessibility, inclusion, employment, and advocacy.

We talk with Jaydon Cowan, David Swift, and George Kambouris.  They're all peer mentors with Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Queensland, supporting other people with disability to reach for the stars in the workplace and other avenues of life.

We also talk to Rainey and her mum Amber.  Rainey has spina bifida, and inspired Life Education Queensland to make their Central Queensland van more accessible so all kids can enjoy sessions with Healthy Harold.

If you have a story you think we should feature on Choice and Control, please contact our enquiries line on 1300 999 636, or email [email protected].
