"At Department of Communities and Justice NSW, we have 35 allies and 61 champions. There has been over 100% ownership growth in 12 months. To me, this is something imp. about my Dept's culture, the willingness of the staff to be responsive to staff with disability" #ANDConf20

What makes a good Disability Champion? "An intrinsic altruism - hard to define, but it reveals itself pretty clearly. A great champion can recognise the positive benefits of a great leader in action" - Paul O'Reilley #ANDConf20 #StrongerTogether #Champions

Proud and grateful to work for a company that uses its resources for good. Today @salesforce donated US$250,000 to the @RedCrossAU to help those affected by the bushfires, which has been personally matched by @benioff and Lynne Benioff.

@BreakfastNews great intentions by Jeff Shaw at ‘Give a Care’ to create social events for people with disability. Please don’t call this great initiative a ‘service’ so transactional call it an opportunity #disability

The #NDIS is responsible for one fifth of all new jobs in Australia. Now just imagine what might happen if the scheme was actually working the way it should? People with #disability would get the help they need AND the economy gets a boost. #NDISMakeItWork smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

A raw and authentic discussion - a new currency is needed- respect and kindness
A privilege to lead a discussion on what leadership around disability and employment looks like with @ANDisability.
