"I attended the same mainstream school all the way through reception to year 12. Basically when you start off at school that young, the general attitude was, "You walk funny, want to be friends?" People noticed, but just got on with it. I've got fantastic friends from that school. There is a group of eight of us that still catch up after 20 years. I was bullied by one person, but it was quite odd in a sense, because everyone who knew me approached that guy and said, "If you keep going the way you are going, we are going to sort you out." I think the earlier that kids get exposed to disability it normalises it. There is none of the rubbish that you see with adults."
We want to see a world where everyone is included, respected and gets a fair go in life. We can't get there without acknowledging that our office sits on the land of the Kaurna people. Like people living with disability, we recognise that Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander people continue to experience inequality and division. We want them to know we are their allies. We believe their culture, history, diversity and deep connection to the land deserves our highest respect.
