The unemployment rate of Australians with a disability has been unchanged for about 30 years, sitting at around 10%. And nearly half of Australians with a disability live below the poverty line. Why aren't we seeing progress? This episode will look at why Australians don't think people with disabilities should be given the same opportunities to work.
Kurt Fearnley is a proud person with a disability and Sarah Shands is a mum of a child with a disability. Together they talk with people with disability and some key decision-makers about what life is really like and what we're doing to fix any issues. The challenges, the discrimination, the triumphs — and everything in between.
