Matthew Layton and Sam Rickard present Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view.

This week:

Vision Australia’s Career Start Program is now open for applications

The program is designed to help recent graduates living with a vision impairment get onto the first rung of the career ladder. 

The program starts in April, lasts twelve months and consists of a nine month paid internship at Vision Australia, followed by a three month paid placement with another employer.

Matthew speaks to Gabrielle Simmons, who is part of the current crop of Vision Australia’s Career Start participants.

If you’ve been affected by any of the issues in this week’s show - or if there’s something you feel we need to talk about on future shows, please do get in touch.
