Discovering the next Jobs or Musk in North Sydney? @Kyleatink speech inspires us to look beyond 'disability' and see VARIABLE ability as a source of innovation. It's time to broaden our vision and spot the business opportunities hidden in plain sight. https://t.co/LkdnUc6ft4

Australia Cannot Afford NOT to Build Accessible Homes https://t.co/7lgpFvlcyX @UDAustralia Arguing the case that we can no longer afford to keep building inaccessible homes. Why can't industry stakeholders recognise that they are human too and that ability is only temporary.

[Ross Joyce @AFDO_CEO]

It is critical the NDIA Board includes qualified and skilled people with #disability to administer a scheme that is designed for, and about, people with disability.

@stuartrobertmp, AFDO calls for the #NDIS Board to be more representative and include more ppl with #disability.
