What if airports were designed with people with disability, not just for them?
In this episode of AbiliTV, we go behind the scenes at Melbourne Airport to discover Airport Assist, an Australian-first accessibility initiative helping passengers navigate the airport with greater confidence and independence.
We also explore how people with lived experience have helped shape and trial accessibility initiatives connected with Melbourne Airport’s major Naarm Way redevelopment, putting accessibility into the conversation as the airport plans for the future.
Then, 18-year-old disability advocate Fin Coll takes the hot seat for a very special Open Floor, sharing his experiences of advocacy, independence and his determination to create a more inclusive future.
And finally, we meet internationally trained soprano Janelle Colquhoun, a remarkable performer, producer and champion blind archer who has refused to let vision loss define what is possible, before she delivers a stunning studio performance of ‘Bring Him Home’ from Les Misérables.
