  • David Mitchell, health commentator, shared his recent health challenges and how “My Home Hospital” has helped David recover quicker; better and at the same time taking pressure of the hospital health system.

  • Sam Paior, from The Growing Space, leading Advocate, has dug deeper into the proposed NDIS cuts announcements.
