Busy First Week Back

Our first week of 2025 turned out to be a busy one. On wednesday I was excited to be invited back to the Australian Open for the fourth time for another accessibility audit. It was amazing to see how far the Australian Open has come since my first Audit back in 2020. This year’s event included 3 well equipped sensory rooms, a social story, a sensory map and also training all staff on the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower. My week didn’t end there though as I was also invited to audit the Midsumma Carnival on Sunday. MIdsumma Carnival holds a special part of my heart as this was the first Pride event I had ever been to after coming out as Bisexual which is why I am so excited to have the opportunity to work with Midsumma. I look forward to seeing the improvements both Tennis Australia and The Midsumma Festival Make to ensure these events can be enjoyed by everyone.
