Self-advocacy and hope for a disability-led NDIS

NDIS Know-how is coming back strong after the holiday break with the woman who got Beyoncé and Lizzo to change ableist lyrics in their songs. Hannah Diviney is a disability advocate, writer, actor and creator of an incredible media company called Missing Perspectives. You might have seen her on the pages of Marie Claire magazine, which crowned her The Voice of Now, on ABC’s Q+A panel, or starring in her breakout acting role in the new SBS series, Latecomers.

Hannah lives with her parents, two younger sisters and loyal border collie in Sydney. She has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair to make her way through the world. In this chat she tells Mel about her experience as an NDIS participant, her hopes for the future of the scheme, and shares her tips on how to advocate for yourself or someone you love.
