Come inside Australia’s first social enterprise hotel, which is also a successful model for training people with a disability not just for a job in hospitality, but a career. Its bespoke academy program combines independent living skills with on-the-job training in all areas of the hotel and restaurant business – challenging the public’s assumptions about what disability and work looks like along the way. |

It featured Sophie Howe, the former first Future Generations Commissioner of Wales, among other inspiring voices.
