Candid Conversations | Scope Australia Skip to main content

Curious about what people with disabilities really think?

The recent launch of Scope’s Candid Conversations series is bringing you frank, open discussions about the things that matter.

From dating, to gender, to learning how to use Google Home in your 60s, we’re asking the easy questions, the hard ones and everything in between.

In its premiere, Candid Conversations covers International Day of People with a Disability and the importance of innovation and technology. We meet Zane, Teace, Megan, Mia, Daniel, Maree and Jake who openly share their experiences.

Keep an eye out in 2023 for the next Candid Conversations episode where we talk all things dating, relationships and Valentine’s Day.

Rotary Club of Essendon's Enduring Impact

The previous Rotary Club of Essendon president, Vera Maljevac, originally became involved with St Albans Social Connections when she worked at Kangan TAFE and conducted a fundraiser for the program. This got the ball rolling for future support, including when the Rotary group funded the purchase of $1,500 of musical instruments for a music therapy program two years ago, which further cemented connections.
