Living well after a life-altering injury with support from the NDIS
Episode 15
Sunday, 21 May, 2023

In the final episode of season two, Mel chats with tech entrepreneur, brand expert and NDIS participant Steve Ralph. At the end of 2017, Steve misjudged a jump into a swimming pool and sustained a spinal cord injury that saw him become a quadriplegic. Steve now needs significant support to go about his day and he’s got some very cool assistive tech to help him get out adventuring, like modified bikes and kayaks and an all-terrain wheelchair. He shares how he manages his NDIS funds with the help of a support coordinator and his advice for people who are new to the scheme. In very exciting news, Steve is hosting a new, soon-to-launch podcast for Hireup called Life Rolls On. This series sees Steve chatting with other people who’ve experienced life-changing injuries – and sharing the challenges and triumphs they've had since.
