In this powerful conversation with Professor Christine Bigby, we explore disability practice, intellectual disability, NDIS reform, group homes, supported decision-making, social inclusion, and why quality support must be judged by what happens in the real moment between a support worker and the person they are supporting.

Christine shares decades of research into community living, disability services, active support, practice leadership, safeguarding, and the difference between policy intentions and what actually happens on the frontline. The conversation challenges the idea that more paperwork, more indicators, and more policies automatically create better outcomes.

We also discuss the Royal Commission, rights-based ideology, evidence-based practice, the future of group homes, the care and support economy, mainstream supports, housing, poverty, inequality, and whether Australia is really on the path to becoming a more inclusive and fair society.

Watch the full conversation to understand why disability support is not just about systems, funding, or compliance. It is about people, relationships, practice, evidence, and dignity.
