An ABC Australian Story follows Perth mother Deirdre Croft, 72, who has spent 45 years caring for her son Richard, who has a profound intellectual disability caused by birth trauma. As her health declines, Deirdre confronts a question many ageing carers face: who will care for their child when they die, and how to secure a safe, supportive future.

ID: A smiling older woman with short grey hair streaked with pink and wearing bright pink glasses stands beside an adult man with short dark hair and glasses. She gently holds his arm as they stand outdoors in front of leafy greenery. The man appears animated and expressive, while the woman looks at him with warmth and attentiveness.

Twenty years after my stroke and this is still part of my everyday life.

After a full day lecturing and my weekly rehab with my physio, I’m out walking the streets near home — today without my walking frame.

I’m exhausted, but I know these steps matter. Without this ongoing movement, the nerve pain, fatigue and sleep challenges become so much harder — and the rest of life becomes more compromised.

Rehabilitation doesn’t stop. It evolves.

Twenty years on… still stepping forward.

Feeling so privileged to present my lived experience with staff today on their theme, ‘focussed to win’. Loved drawing on my insights as a stroke survivor and the expertise and input from health professionals and fellow stroke survivors to emphasise the value of a codesign approach. Also a great chance to highlight that if they are disengaged, I (& many others) lose focus and can’t win.. Very grateful to be able to advocate to these phenomenal people who make my life after stroke easier. Extremely grateful to for making this possible

Read my first blog for 2026! I love the idea of Christmas; the coming together with family that I love deeply. But alongside the magic of Christmas, there's also the overwhelm and exhaustion that comes along with it.

Feeling a bit deflated after trialling prototype #6 of my custom eye patch — designed to replace my nightly gladwrap routine (yep, that’s been my life 😅).
After losing eyelid closure on my right side from facial palsy, I’ve been on a mission to protect my cornea long-term. The incredible prosthetic team at Royal Melbourne Hospital have been endlessly patient, creative, and kind through every tweak and test.
But today, it feels like another dead end — and it’s so hard to know when to stop pushing, or when to just rest. Still, I’m holding on to gratitude, for progress and persistence. 💛
