On Sunday 2nd February we hosted the 3rd Physical Disability Awareness Day and were incredibly fortunate to have four amazing speakers attend our online DisabiliTEA event.

Dr Dinesh Palipana OAM (PDA’s Ambassador) was one of these illustrious guests.

Dinesh Palipana joined us whilst on duty in the A&E Department at Gold Coast University Hospital. He shared his thoughts around his recent 15 year anniversary of becoming a quadriplegic, where he believes things need to change in regards to healthcare and other issues of concern to people living with disability and how we can help to drive positive change.

A big thanks to you Dinesh for joining us on the day and his ongoing support of PDA and Australia’s disability community.
