Lizzie Eastham and Sam Rickard present Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view.

On this week’s show

“When I’m 65”

Once more we look at the NDIS, but with a different slant.

But first let’s talk awards! "Studio 1" took home the award for Best Current Affairs and News Program at the Annual Community Broadcasting awards. Lizzie was there to collect it and talks about the CBAA conference and travelling with a Dog Guide for the first time. 

Emma; Lily; Sean and Maddie have take on the NDIS, and it’s mostly positive! 

Our featured interview is with Franca, who was referred onto My Aged Care before the NDIS was rolled out. Franca tells us about the pros and cons of My Aged Care, and some of her answers may surprise our listeners…

Studio 1 welcomes any input from our listeners. If you have any experience or thoughts about issues covered in this episode or believe there is something we should be talking about.

We would also like to thank Vision Australia for their continued support, this award would not be possible without them; and an extra special thanks to, former producer and creator of the show, Matthew Layton who gave us a strong foundation to build upon.
