Meet Melvin and Ta**us, two very special Guide Dogs SA/NT ambassadors who the Acting Commissioner for Equal Opportunity had the pleasure of meeting at the World Sight Day 2026 celebration at Government House. 🐾

The stories shared throughout the event were a powerful reminder of the difference accessibility and inclusion can make to independence, confidence, connection and participation.

It was particularly interesting to hear about initiatives making sport more accessible, including blind football, modified equipment, tactile resources and audio description, alongside emerging technologies that can support people in everyday life.

The message from the day was simple but important: listen, learn and work together.

By understanding and removing barriers, we can help create a more accessible and inclusive community where people who are blind or have low vision have greater opportunities to participate and connect.

Thank you to Guide Dogs SA/NT for a thought-provoking World Sight Day celebration, and to Melvin and Ta**us for being such excellent photo companions!

Today is Wear it Purple Day, a day that highlights the importance of creating safe, inclusive and respectful communities where LGBTQIA+SB people can be themselves, free from discrimination and harassment.

This year's theme, Colours of Courage, recognises that courage can take many forms.

Courage can be found in speaking up and standing up for yourself and others, but it is also reflected in everyday actions: living authentically, asking for support, supporting others, and starting conversations, especially in environments where discussions about LGBTQIA+SB inclusion don't always happen.

No one should feel alone for being who they are. We wear purple today to show our support for LGBTQIA+SB people and our commitment to inclusion, respect, and belonging. 💜 💜 💜
