About this episode

This episode features discussions on accessible voting for the upcoming SA state election and a recap on music therapy advocacy efforts over the past year.

We have a special appearance from Peter Greco this week, as he catches up with Mac Bollella from the South Australian Electoral Commission. With the SA state election taking place on 21 March we get the latest details on how voters who are blind or have low vision can cast their votes confidentially and accessibly. You'll also hear from music therapist Emily Shanahan, Sam catches up with her to get a recap 12 months on from the developments in music therapy after questions over its place in the NDIS, and the efforts over the last year to advocate and continue providing music therapies to clients with disabilities.
