Janel’s Story – Paralympian & Disability Advocate

"I have house surfed, couch surfed, and made do in mainstream accommodation where quite often it would be difficult to function on a daily basis"

Janel, a Paralympian, disability advocate, and Lead Trainer at People with Disability Australia, shares her journey and the impact her SDA housing has had on her independence, confidence and sense of stability, a story that resonates with many NDIS participants searching for the right specialist disability accommodation.

With a lifelong commitment to social justice and lived experience of disability from early childhood, Janel understands firsthand the power of accessible, supportive spaces.

Her SDA apartment is more than just a roof over her head – it's an accessible and secure space which she has transformed into her very own sanctuary.
