"Living with disability has shaped how I lead. It’s taught me to see things differently, challenge barriers, and value collaboration. Leadership is about responsibility for the success and well-being of those around you, not titles..." Trish, JFA Purple Orange Board Chair. #IDPwD

"Always bring your authentic self to the table and don’t get caught up in others’ perceptions of your abilities. The only limit on yourself is that in which you set in your own mind, so it’s best not to place any limits at all." Daniella, Treasurer of the JFA Purple Orange Board

We have given evidence to SA Parliament in support of a #HumanRightsAct. This would benefit all South Australians including people with disability. You can sign a call to action from an SA alliance of organisations to demand enforceable rights for all! buff.ly/4gv3029
