In this episode, Sam Drummond travels across the country, amplifying the voices shaping the future of disability inclusion in Australia.

In the Blue Mountains, Andrea Comastri speaks about Hotel Etico, the social enterprise he co-founded and leads as CEO. Hotel Etico supports people with disability to gain training and employment in the hospitality industry. Graduate Quinn Jones shares how the program gave him the confidence and skills to grow his career in hospitality.

Joining the conversation is Tanya Pederick, Program Coordinator at YouthWorX NT in the Northern Territory, alongside Caitlin, a participant in the program. YouthWorX NT provides young people with disability the skills they need for employment, leadership and financial security.

Also featured is Vaughn Bennison in Hobart, Tasmania. After graduating from university, he spent thirteen years trying to find work. More than a decade later, he finally secured employment. Walking into his first job interview, Vaughn worried he would face discrimination because he is blind.
