Living with Disability

During April, Clint Morgan from Rebound WA spoke to the WATC team about his lived experience with disability, the impact to his life and career and what the community can do to support Western Australians living with a physical disability.

About the Speaker

Clint spoke at the WATC offices for a little over an hour about his life before the accident that left him in a wheelchair, his long road to recovery and how his life post-accident transformed his career and his outlook. While the challenges Clint faced were significant, his positivity and willingness to embrace them head on was inspiring.


Clint’s initial presentation was followed by a Q&A session, where the WATC team asked a range of questions about his life before and after the accident and his strategies for coping with change. Clint also provided practical advice on how to support people with disability in the workplace and expanded on how Rebound WA works to assist those living with physical disability to lead fuller and more connected lives through being active.


Rebound WA also loaned wheelchairs to WATC during April, so team members could better appreciate the challenges faced by wheelchair users every day.

After the Session

Over the weeks following Clint’s session, WATC fundraised on behalf of Rebound WA and raised $690 in donations, including $345 from staff and an additional $345 in matched funds from WATC. A big thank you to Clint for sharing his story and his insights with the WATC team.
