About This Podcast

We all want the Good Life: for ourselves and for the people we care about. But, traditionally, people with disability have been denied access to (or given a watered-down version of) many of the things that make life meaningful, purposeful and interesting. The Get That Good Life! conference was all about identifying the things that make life good and how to ensure that people with disability have access to these. It provided attendees with countless strategies that create wonderfully ordinary lives for people with disability. The conference unashamedly shared ideas and stories that have high expectations for the lives of people with disability. In it, you’ll hear countless examples of people with disability who - have chosen an ordinary life path - hold meaningful and valued roles - participate in and contribute to their local communities with the right support Enjoy the presentations from an exciting group of local, national and international speakers that joined us to share their insights, stories, and best practice methods. Expect to come away with plenty of actionable ideas from every episode! And visit imaginemore.org.au for more great resources.
