Submit ReviewThere are currently 4.4 million Aussies living with a disability, and millions more who form part of their care and support network, but despite so many people having this lived experience it seems we often fall short of making our communities inclusive.
The Quicky speaks to a disability researcher and three women each with different experiences to discuss the everyday challenges they face, and what we can all do to make sure every public space is accessible and welcoming to all.
