Program Changes

As from the 10th December, due to health reasons Mercury Features is taking a much needed rest, and will hopefully be back with us in early 2025. As with any program change this gives us the opportunity to air a couple of new programs, in this instance from our colleagues at Vision Australia in Melbourne. the two programs taking the place of Mercury Features are

In Plain Sight - which highlights the incredible stories of people who are making a positive impact in the community and disability sector. &

Talking Law - a weekly update of news about legal issues, with emphasis on stories from the disability law sector. It includes readings from the nation's newspapers as well as industry publications.

If you find them interesting, enjoyable and or helpful please let us know.
