Percy made the move from Far North Queensland to Melbourne to be part of the local Jewish community. The move also provided Percy with the opportunity to apply to the graduate program through the disability pathway.
“I’ve been well supported on the disability front from the very beginning of the application process. Many organisations say they’re inclusive, but not many actually put in the work – it has far-exceeded my expectations.”
Percy had no expectations going into the program, having never worked an office job before. The hybrid work environment provided the support they needed to participate equitably.
“It’s so much easier to be present and get my work done without having to worry about travel and food, and new chairs and anything else that could flare up my disabilities.”
