Voices for Change
Share
We are peers who have sustained an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) and who have had contact with the criminal justice system. You can hire us to speak about improvements we think are needed in the system. We have lived experience expertise.
Our member, Francesca, joined the health-justice partnership national community in Sydney last week as they got together for some transformative learnings across the sector.
Fran held the audience's attention as she shared how her own story has made an impact on the work she does with Voices for Change.
We hope the audience was inspired to see the power lived experience advocacy makes to create systemic change and that they will encourage more of it in their organisations.
Fran shared how it can be difficult to share your story as it can be painful at times, but she is proud of the stories Voices for Change shared this year in their fantastic podcast, All Been Inside, despite her initial nervousness.
Thanks to old and new friends at Health Justice Australia 2025. A great bunch of people across the country doing important work bridging the gap between the health and justice sectors for Australia's service users.
Thank-you for extending the welcome to Francesca and Voices for Change.

Zoe and Niki from FIGJAM came to visit us yesterday. FIGJAM are a lived experience, justice advocacy collective supported by Flat Out Inc
FIGJAM do amazing work supporting women, trans and gender non-conforming folks adjust to life after incarceration, through peer support and through gaining strong advocacy skills.
Voices for Change learnt a lot about how FIGJAM work together that could help our group and we also heard about the great work they are doing in prisons. That's where we want to be.
FIGJAM are inspiring advocates and good to be around. We hope they can help Voices for Change start working in prisons so we can educate prisoners about Acquired Brain Injury and how peer support and self-advocacy can change your life.
Thank-you, Zoe and Niki, for sharing your time and expertise with us ❤️
