Marg’s professional background is in finance and administration, but she joins Different Journeys to help share her Carer experience with other parents, carers, individuals, and families. Marg is passionate about supporting Autistic individuals, encouraging them to be heard, and to be proud of who they are. Marg loves travelling, art, writing, and the Collingwood FC!
Different Journeys would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the different lands on which we meet today. We respect all Aboriginal Elders past and present We aim to collaborate with our Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander friends in the autistic community to connect, empower and support each other and exchange isolation, prejudice and ignorance with connections, hope and community. We acknowledge that the connection to autism and lived experience is our common ground. We acknowledge, respect and maintain that our custodians have cultivated these lands and we continue to learn together.
