The podcast episode explores Inclusive Housing and Communities in Australia, and the real impact that accessible design and policy can have on people’s lives. Sam Drummond spoke with Paul Nunnari, a respected Paralympian and long-time disability advocate, about the power of speaking up for change. Paul shared how he once wrote directly to the NSW Premier to advocate for the Sydney Opera House to become more accessible for people with disability — a reminder that advocacy from individuals can influence some of the country’s most iconic places.

 

Also featured is Joseph Connellan to speak about why accessible, affordable homes are essential for people with disability to live independently and remain connected to their communities. From the Northern Territory, Leeanne Caton from Aboriginal Housing Northern Territory shared insights into the housing challenges facing First Nations people with disability.

 

Joining the conversation is Nic Gains and his mother Joan, who shared their experience of what inclusive housing can look like when it’s done well.
