Young people have an important role to play in creating a more inclusive future.

Tilly and Pippa from Woodleigh School have been volunteering with our WheelTalk program. Working closely with and learning from Peter, they are developing a deeper understanding of inclusion, accessibility and the importance of ensuring everyone has the opportunity to participate.

Building disability awareness helps foster empathy and confidence, creating future leaders who are equipped to build stronger, more inclusive communities.

We are looking forward to visiting Woodleigh School in Term 4, where Tilly and Pippa will share the WheelTalk experience with their own school community!
