Born with spina bifida, Jim LeBrecht is a filmmaker, sound designer, and lifelong disability rights activist. As co-director of the award-winning documentary Crip Camp, Jim helped bring the untold stories of the disability rights movement into the spotlight—stories rooted in community, resilience, and the fight for equity.​

At Castlemaine Support Services, we echo Jim’s call for visibility and belonging. We believe in a world where every person is represented, respected, and empowered to shape their future.​

Let’s talk pressure relief, posture, and support that goes beyond the basics.​

The Disability Discrimination Act 1992 was a landmark moment—it made it illegal to treat someone unfairly because of their disability in work, education, transport, and beyond.​

For the first time, people with disability had legal protection on a national scale. It was a turning point—and the result of decades of powerful advocacy.​

At Castlemaine Support Services, we continue that legacy—ensuring rights aren’t just written into law, but reflected in everyday life.​

Because inclusion isn’t a favour—it’s a fundamental right.​

Sensory overload is real—and so is our responsibility to respond with care. For many autistic individuals and people with sensory processing differences, everyday spaces can be overwhelming. Bright lights, noise, or strong smells aren’t just uncomfortable—they can trigger real distress.​

At Castlemaine Support Services, we believe inclusion means recognising these experiences and creating environments that honour sensory needs. From calm spaces to sensory tools and respectful communication, small changes make a big difference.​

Inclusion starts with understanding—and grows through empathy and action.​

From barriers to breakthroughs—disability inclusion in the workforce has come a long way, but the journey isn’t over. At Castlemaine Support Services, we stand with people with disability—not just for access, but for equity, voice, and leadership in every workplace.​

We’ve seen real change: more awareness, stronger protections, and expanded opportunities. But we also know the work continues.​

🧭 Representation in leadership is still limited. ​
💰 The disability wage gap remains persistent. ​
💼 Hiring processes aren’t always accessible. ​

And workplace culture must foster genuine inclusion—not just presence, but belonging.​

Let’s keep evolving together. Because inclusion isn’t a milestone—it’s a movement.​
