On Sunday 2nd February we celebrated Physical Disability Awareness Day with events throughout Australia and also enjoyed a great turnout at the popular online DisabiliTEA event.

As part of the day’s activities, PDA was invited to be part of a podcast hosted by Kayla Gatt – aka the Natural Naturopath.

PDA’s Melanie Hawkes, Laura Scurr and Robert Wise spoke about Physical Disability Awareness Day and why such days are important in educating, celebrating and bringing together both the physical disability and wider communities.
