In April of 2020, the death of Ann Marie Smith shocked Australia. Policy makers, service providers, the community, we all asked how this could have happened. But one year on, Purple Orange heard from ‘Nat’, who told us she is scared she is going to be the next Ann Marie Smith. In this podcast, We Need To Talk, you will hear Nat’s story about her problems getting enough support, and how it means she sleeps in her wheelchair most days each week.

Most importantly it makes clear that diverse communication should not stop connection.
