Did you know it's Invisible Disabilities Week from 18-24 October?

• It's estimated that roughly 80% to 85% of people with a disability live with a non-visible or hidden condition.
• These can include neurological disorders, cognitive differences, sensory impairments, mental health conditions and chronic illnesses or pain syndromes.

If you're looking for a sunflower lanyard that discretely indicates a hidden disability for yourself or a loved one, many Westfield Shopping Centres and the Perth Airport are now Sunflower friendly, and you can usually get these lanyards from their respective concierge desks.
