Show Notes
Grace, a legally blind woman living in a remote regional area, faces daily challenges due to limited home care. Despite her therapists recommendation for daily support, she only receives care three days a week. This leaves her unable to shower safely more often. Grace, who lost her vision 34 years ago, struggles with the high travel costs for her National Disability Insurance Scheme, which consumes half her budget. Experts call for extra funding loadings to cover provider travel costs, arguing that people like Grace face greater barriers due to scarce specialists.
