About this listen
In this episode, Clare Stewart, CEO of Youngcare and former Mayor of Noosa, joins Peta to share her powerful story of resilience, disability, and purpose.
At just 23 years old, Clare was struck by a garbage truck while out for a morning run. She spent six months in hospital and underwent 37 surgeries to save her legs. Twenty-five years on, she’s leading one of Australia’s most respected disability organisations, advocating for accessible housing, dignity, and choice for young people with high care needs.
Clare and Peta discuss how lived experience shapes authentic leadership, the reality of accessibility in everyday life, and the urgent need to rethink how Australia houses and supports disabled people.
