By Northcott

The Attitudes podcast is the brainchild of Attitude Foundation, in collaboration with Northcott to bring life and depth to conversations and topics about disability. Former Attitude Foundation CEO and disability advocate, Angel Dixon OAM is joined by guests to unpack personal and societal attitudes towards disability, their impact on people with disability and how to move closer to inclusion. Using statistics uncovered in the 2021 national survey into community attitudes towards disability, the series complements the numbers with first-hand stories.
