Vision Australia has been at the forefront of a decades-long campaign by the blindness and low vision sector to have audio description introduced on television. We strongly supported the two government-funded trials of audio description on the ABC in 2012 and 2015-16, and we look forward to working with the government, the ABC, and SBS in the coming months to ensure that the introduction of audio description by our two national broadcasters is successful and benefits as many people who are blind or have low vision as possible.![]()

We need to stop perpetuating the myth that we are ALWAYS in conscious control of our actions. It hurts and shames children and adults.” Bottom centre of graphic has a birds nest with words “here *sic* this now.”]Are you trauma-informed?
