Flying can be a challenging experience for many people with a disability. Currently it is riddled with inconsistent policies, regulations and facilities on offer.

This is why I was excited to learn that the Australian Government are currently seeking feedback on the Aviation Disability Standards.

These standards will ensure there is a little more consistency across airports and airlines and allow for enhanced accessibility and safety standards.

Some of the proposed standards include:

Planes requiring to have a closet onboard that can accommodate mobility devices

Optional accessibility profiles for travellers so they don't need to submit this information every time they fly.

Being able to choose a seat that meets your accessibility needs

Ensuring airport and airline roles are clear

Ensuring the disability community is consulted with on changes.

As someone who has travelled a fair bit for work I know how inaccessible the flying experience can be.

This is why I am thrilled to see the Australian Government is working toward making this experience a little more accessible for everyone.

This is especially great to see after the distressing week the disability community in this country has had.

Events like open days can be an overwhelming experience with so many sights, sounds, and smells. Large crowds can also be a challenge. These sensory aspects can make an event inaccessible for neurodivergent individuals.

Providing a sensory map ahead of time allows attendees to understand the environment and prepare before they walk through the door.

I work directly with universities, events, and organisations to build these essential tools, boosting accessibility and ensuring a welcoming experience for everyone.

Contact me today to book a consultation and make your next event more accessible and easier to navigate.

The Protect Our NDIS Alliance has announced that Tomorrow there will be another National Day of Action.

This will be our chance as a community to publicly voice our concerns about the proposed NDIS changes before the senate inquiry deadline on the 14th of August.

There will now be 6 events held around Australia in which you can participate.

Sydney/Gadigal: 10am AEST, Town Hall

Brisbane/Magan-djin/Meanjin: 1pm AEST, Queens Gardens

Melbourne/Naarm: 2pm AEST, City Square

Hobart/Nipaluna: 2PM AEST, Franklin Square

Perth/Booloo: 1PM AWST, Forrest Place

Adelaide/Kaurna Country: 11AM ACST, Parliament House

I plan to be at City Square in Melbourne tomorrow to show my support and would love to see you there.

If you are unable to attend in person, however, would like to show your support, there are many other ways you can do so including following Protect Our NDIS Alliance, having a look at the resources on their Linktree: linktr.ee/ProtectOurNDIS or reaching out to them to organise an event closer to home.

There are many aspects to this proposed bill that are concerning and present real life threatening risks for many Australians with a disability.

These proposed changes have already affected thousands of Australians' lives and the bill hasn't even been passed by the senate yet.

Is the current NDIS perfect? no, however these proposed changes are not the way forward.

The government needs to consult with people with lived and professional experience in the sector before making drastic changes that affect our lives.

Tomorrow lets make those in charge listen and realise how many people their decisions affect.

When I travel for work I often find myself with time at the airport so sometimes choose to explore the accessibility facilities on offer.

A few weeks ago I was excited to learn that Cairns Airport has a quiet room available so I decided to have a look, however I was surprised by what I walked into.

It is great to see Airports starting to introduce spaces like these, however people with disabilities need to be consulted with during the design process to ensure they are fit for purpose.

A space designed to make the airport experience more accomodating to neurodivergent travellers should be a comfortable and welcoming space. It should not use harsh florescent lights or feel as though you are being hidden away in a broom closet.

I was fortunate that Cairns Airport was not very busy at the time of my flight so I was able to find another quiet space to sit in the terminal, however this is a great reminder of how important lived experience is when designing spaces and services for people with disabilities.

If you are interested in introducing a sensory room or quiet room feel free to contact me to organise a meeting as I am always happy to assist in making spaces more accessible for people with disabilities.

Today I had the pleasure of speaking at the Cairns Disability Support Worker Conference.

I was invited to share my intersectional experience as an LGBTQIA+ autistic and provide advice on how to support people with disability who have intersectional experiences.

I would like to thank ARC Disability for organising this fantastic event for local support workers and for allowing me to talk about such an important topic.

I hope those in attendance were able to walk away with something they can apply in their work.

Thank you
