In this episode Mel chats with Bernard Namok Jr, host of Yarning Disability, the first podcast dedicated to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with disability. Bernard has a long history in radio broadcasting and, since experiencing disability first hand and in his family, he's now working as a community advocate for the First Peoples Disability Network in Cairns. 

In this conversation Bernard shares his experience of navigating the NDIS on behalf of his brother, who is a participant, and how he believes the scheme can better serve Indigenous communities.
