In the article 'I felt less alone': how Australians with disabilities are fearing life after the pandemic, published October 25, some people with a disability including Erica Eele share some of the social benefits the pandemic brought, such as being able to attend more events online:
“I wouldn’t have been able to attend due to my noise sensitivity, and all my other symptoms like fatigue,” she says. “I felt so much more included and part of the community. I felt less alone.”
From online health appointments, to religious occassions, theatre shows, parties and streamed art and cultural events, there has been so many more opportunities for people with a disabilty to take part in from the comfort of their home and not miss out. If these options remain into the future it would be it would be welcomed by many people with a disability.

For people with a disability who have long been advocating for accommodations and accessible options, “the COVID-19 pandemic shows that these are not as impractical as we have always been told” said disabled academic Ashley Shew.
With most of the world in isolation, more people have become aware of what some of the physical barriers of what having a disability may be like. “I’m actually really optimistic good will come out of this,” says Karen Turner, a disabled woman who has been accessing her church services online.
In this blog, we take a look at some of the positive changes that have happened during COVID-19. As we start to look beyond the crisis, it will be interesting to see if some changes can remain in place and be founding blocks to build on.
Telehealth
Some therapies have come online allowing people to do them from the comfort of their own home, such as speech therapy
Bulk billing of some items, such as online psychology or specialist appointments has also been welcome news
No travel time and being able to wait at home instead of a waiting room has been a plus for many people, also helping stop the spread of germs
With telehealth happening very it has many immediate advantages but “its suitability for the long term requires more thorough research” a recent article on Croakey Health shares
Drive through Doctors clinics, home visits from Doctors
These measures have cut downtime in waiting rooms and exposure to germs, which have been critical for people who are weakened immune systems
Being able to get a flu shot in your car without having to enter a Doctors surgery was a bonus for some people with a disability
Others have been able to have COVID19 testing at home or have other health needs met without leaving home
More Mental Health Support
The Government has allowed for more mental health support for people who have a mental health care plan

Working from Home
With many Australians now working from home it has exposed people to advantages it can have
Reducing travel time, saving on travel costs, conserving bodily energy levels and increasing productivity have been some of the benefits reported by people with a disability
Online meetings have become the norm, along with webinars, talks, training and conferences, making it easier for many people to attend that would typically not be able to attend physically
People are hopeful that accommodations can become more commonplace - “A silver lining to the crisis is that managers see that working from home doesn't have to be isolating and distracting. It can be efficient and strengthen culture” says Geri Stengel.
NDIS Flexibility
It was welcome news for people that funding could be used more flexibly to meet their needs
There has also been more straightforward access to funds to purchase assistive technology such as an Ipad to help people access their therapy or stay connected
