Disability Podcast

A solo-host educational podcast breaking down the complexities of Australia's National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) for a non-expert audience.

The brief

This is a solo-presenter educational resource focused entirely on the Australian NDIS. Each episode is a focused dive into a specific, often bureaucratic, component of the system—from funding management options and provider registration to the different levels of support coordination. It functions as a free, accessible explainer for a complex government program.

Its laser-focus on the administrative and practical details of the NDIS, explained by a practitioner in the field, sets it apart from broader disability-focused conversations. The host uses her direct experience to clarify what roles and services are (and are not).
