Government & Hotel Industry to provide a Ceiling Hoist for Wheelchair Users

22/03/2017

This morning the TODAY show had a segment on regarding a resort with Accessible Accommodation.
You can imagine how excited I was when I heard this accommodation was available within Australia.

The lucky state is NSW and the suburb is Collaroy which is on the beach, only to find out that accommodation is only for people who have a Spinal Injury! Therefore, if you have a disability such as mine Spinal Muscular Atrophy you do NOT meet the criteria to stay there.

Ben is a gentleman with a serve disability (like me) and thought by going into Residential Care he could live an independent, happy and health life.

Honestly, this topic terrifies me :(
I prayer everyday that I wake-up and my life will be just like yesterday.
I would rather take my own life then suffer how Ben did.

Imagine if ONE Hotel chain offered this facility!

Today I meet with Nick and Mel from in Nunawading to discuss the possibility of working together on a proposal to lobby the Victorian Government and the Australian Hotels Association to place a ceiling hoist in a least on Disabled Room in each Hotel within Australia.

I have been invited to attend the office in Nunawading for Morning Tea and a chat about my Plight.

I am really excited and thank HLS Healthcare for the opportunity.

As I explained to HLS Healthcare this plight was my challenge for 2016, I am determined to make a difference. It may take some time but who knows maybe together we can make a difference.

Ever since I can remember I have always wanted to travel within Australia and the World.

I was limited as a young lady however now I begin my new journey and wish to travel as much as I can before life gets to tough. However, firstly, there is something I need to accomplish.
