Important to know…
The sunflower is the symbol used in the community to help identify a person living with a hidden (or unseen disability).
This may be represented by a lanyard with sunflowers or a badge by the person to subtly inform community or event staff they may or may not need a little help.

A lot of customer service industries are aware of this and you may also see a su flower symbol at a theatre or local shop now you know.

And if you need a sunflower logo either for you to wear or to promote awareness at your place of employment click the link below to get one step closer to full inclusion 🌻

It’s Invisible Disabilities Week (19–25 October)! 🌻

Around 80–85% of people with a disability have one that isn’t visible. These include neurological, cognitive, sensory, mental health, and chronic conditions that aren’t always immediately apparent.

Not all disabilities are visible — but a little understanding and kindness can go a long way in making everyone feel seen and supported.

If Greece can find an amazing disability beach access solution surely Australia can get in on this too !
This is the Seatrac product which is a powered tracking system with a seat that lowers and pulls people in/out of the water. Requires one person to press the green button to lower or raise the chair . Simple designs often bring great solutions.
