Supporting someone who is blind or has low vision is often a role that goes unnoticed. Many family members and friends see what they do as an act of love and responsibility. But in taking on this role, that person is also providing important support, and there are resources available for them, too.
In this special Vision Australia Radio presentation, host Sam Colley (Talking Vision) sits down with Adam Demirtel (Director Carers, Holstep Health), and Vision Australia’s wellbeing experts Debbie Loke (National Social Supports & Wellbeing Lead) and Megan Kohlhagen (Wellbeing Team Lead & Senior Practitioner). Together, they explore what it means to support someone who is blind or has low vision and the emotional journey from diagnosis to daily life.
The conversation highlights their hidden struggles and quiet strength, while shining a light on the culturally inclusive, practical, and emotional support available through Carer Gateway and Vision Australia.
Whether you’re supporting a parent, partner, child, or friend, this episode is here to remind you that you are not alone, and help is here for you too.
