Happy World Sight day! Did you know that over 90%

Happy World Sight day!
Did you know that over 90% of vision loss & blindness is preventable or treatable when identified early. Early detection is critical, remember many eye conditions can be subtle with no obvious signs or symptoms until it is too late so please priotise your eye health & ensure you have a regular check up. 76% of Australians consider sight to be their most important sense however more than a third do not have regular eye exams!

Today is International Day for Universal Access to

Today is International Day for Universal Access to Information and next week we celebrate World Sight Day. These occasions provide us with an opportunity to raise awareness and provide education to our communities in particular to those who may not understand the true gifts of sight and of the ability to access information. Ironically, today I received this communication (see image) from a company after I asked if it was possible to have a paper printed larger so that I would be able to read it because of my vision impairment. The paper being an assessment of a short course I am taking. Without the paper being printed larger I cannot read it. I believe it was a simple request, unfortunately the response speaks for itself. For people living with low vision or blindness access to information continues to be one of the biggest challenges we face. If you are ever unsure about how you can help someone who may have different access needs to you please just ask, seek to learn and understand that the world you see may be different to the person next you. Together, we can support each other to ensure we ALL have access to information.

I'm so sad to hear of the closing of many fabulous

I'm so sad to hear of the closing of many fabulous magazines. Most of which I grew up reading & was fortunate enough to be a part of throughout the years. In particular I'd like to shout out @felicityharley who was one of the first (if not the first) to showcase #womeninsport & our Paralympic women. I'll never forgot the first ever #WINS at the MCG where in her opening speech she commented that a horse was the only female athlete to have gained mainstream media attention in Australia. We've come a long way since then as @jacqmooney & her wonderful team continued to spread the love but still have much to go. Here's a few of my special memories from spending time with @womenshealthaus & @instyleaus. Much love to everyone involved & thank you. I'll always remember the support you gave us. ❤

As a speaker there is an immense responsibility yo

As a speaker there is an immense responsibility you have when individuals have chosen to spend their time listening to you when they have a million other things on their plate (like dealing with a pandemic). None more so than last week as the hotelier industry faces one of their greatest challenges immediately after having just dealt with another challenge (the bushfires). It was a privilege for me to present to the Australian Hotels Assoication & Tourism Accomodation Australia in Victoria from far & wide please support these businesses whether it be the local pub, cafe or a hotel in the beautiful countryside. ❤ @aha_vic
