One of the first interviews we did when we launched MyCareSpace was on this amazing individual, Madizon D'Rozario.

From the get go we were taken in by her kick-butt attitude and sense of humour.

Great to see that Under Armour have picked up on that and given Madi another platform to show her spirit.

We love this campaign and what it stands for .....:

  1. What you put in is what you get out

  2. Be the best person that you can be

Don't Give her a Social Disability 

Jess Irwin was born in 1987 and after a traumatic birth which resulted in a high level of cerebral palsy, she was sent home with her parents, Tony and Robyn. 

Jess says that the best advice her parents received from one of her therapists was " Your daughter has a physical disability. Don't give her a social one".

The Grellman Inquiry into Workers Compensation was tabled over 20 years ago in NSW Parliament but still today injured workers are dealing with the silos that dominate the workers compensation landscape - workers are shuttled between insurers, state regulators, lawyers, case workers, allied health professsionals, and of course doctors - causing frustration, alienation, stress, anxiety - all while trying to rehabilitate, recover and recouperate from a serious injury.
