Inclusion should never feel extraordinary. It should just be.

In a perfect world, we’re all complaining about the same things. We’re not there yet.

00:11 – 00:13

[Quick scene transitions. People enter one by one and sit in the chair at the centre of the set.]

<v Director>: You look very relaxed.

00:13 – 00:14

[Transition continues]

<v Celine>: I’m very nervous

00:14 – 00:17

[Transition stops with Oliver facing the camera and speaking]

<v Oliver>: Yep, sweet. Thank you.

00:18 – 00:23

[Transition continues with Maz and Elvin entering the screen one after the other]

<v Juttima>: Do I look at you guys? Hi!

00:23 – 00:25

[Quick scene transitions.  People look directly at the camera.] 

Oliver: “I wish…” 

Maz: “I wish…” 

Travis: “I wish…”

00:25 – 00:29

[Transition stops with Travis, holding a white walking stick, facing the camera and speaking]

<v Travis>: I wish the worst part of shopping was finding the right shampoo.

00:29 – 00:32

[Transition moves to Juttima, facing the camera and speaking]

<v Juttima >: I wish the worst thing about traveling is waiting in line.

00:33 – 00:36

00:39 – 00:47

[Transition moves to Juttima, facing the camera and speaking]

<v Juttima >: I wish the worst thing about travelling is the plane food. There was one time that I had a crew ask me, do you really need a wheelchair?

00:47 – 01:03

[Transition moves to Oliver, facing the camera and speaking]

<v Oliver>: I wish the worst thing about work; was how nasty the fridge gets. If I performed in in venues in Melbourne that were actually accessible with all the features, bathrooms, ramps, lifts, I’d probably do (only) two gigs a year.

What if we were all complaining about the same things?

A burnt latte.
Bad hold music.
Middle seats on planes.

These are the things we love to complain about – the small annoyances we all share.

For millions of people with disability, the worst part of work, travel, shopping, and daily life isn’t the little inconveniences – it’s the barriers that make those experiences inaccessible, exclusionary, or just plain impossible.

It’s the beach that can’t be reached.

The accommodation that doesn’t accommodate.

Or missing a job interview because you couldn’t get into the building.

This isn’t about sympathy. It’s about equity. About creating a world where people with disability can just be.

Where they can participate, move, work, explore – and yes, complain about the same things as everyone else. Because when the only bad thing about something is the price of a coffee, we’ll know we’re getting somewhere.

Meet the people behind our campaign.

Seven lived experiences. Seven ways inclusion shows up in real life. Each story reminds us that accessibility isn’t about grand gestures – it’s about the small, everyday moments that make belonging possible.

“It’s better to say the wrong thing than nothing at all. We can go forward from the wrong thing, but if you stay quiet, we can’t progress.”

About the Campaign

Just Be was created by people with lived experience of disability to spark a conversation about everyday accessibility. It’s a reminder that inclusion isn’t an ideal – it’s something we build through design, attitude, and action.

We’re not there yet, but every step toward access brings us closer to a world where we can all complain about the same things – and that’s something worth striving for.

Our Mission

Create a world where people with disability can just be

This is our north star.

Everything we do – from consulting and training to storytelling – our mission, helps make access and inclusion an everyday reality. Because when everyone can just be, that’s true inclusion.

At GSA, we help organisations, councils, and communities turn awareness into action – creating workplaces and environments where everyone can participate and belong.

If this message resonates with you, let’s discuss how we can make inclusion part of your everyday.
