You're listening to episode FIFTY and the final episode of Have The Nerve for 2024.

On this episode we’re going to talk about equity. Are the opportunities for people, specifically students with disabilities, fairer in 2024 than they were in, let's say, 2000?

16 year old high school student Lara Grimson comes on the podcast to share her story about trying to find work experience as a person with disability and how it bears an eerie resemblance to Susan's experience 24 years ago.

On this episode of Have The Nerve, Forrest Campbell comes on to talk about his observations about the lack of peer support for his wife when he sustained his spinal cord injury in 2015. He talks about how the difficulty of transitioning to a new life wasn't just felt for him, but became very real for her as well, and when they looked for genuine support it was sorely lacking.

According to Carers Australia there are currently 2.65 million unpaid carers in Australia who provide 2.2 billion hours of unpaid care per year.

Note: In the episode Forrest mentions that his wife is working on a peer support website for carers to access. We will update you on the progress.
