Story Telling

Zoe Simmons

where she helped write Australia’s first-ever report into women’s mental health. Alongside her copywriting, Zoe’s work as a journalist, speaker and advocate highlights the discriminatory barriers disabled people face in business, and in the community, while re-shaping the tragic disabled narrative.

Zoe candidly speaks about her experiences with invisible disabilities to raise awareness, smash stigma, create change, and help others to not feel so alone. Despite the fact that one in five Australians are disabled, disabled people are often excluded—and there’s a significant lack of representation, particularly in business and leadership spaces, that both causes and exasperates many issues for the disabled community.

Most recently, Zoe was a keynote speaker at the 2023 National Youth Disability Summit, where she spoke about medical gaslighting, healthcare inaccessibility, and the power of diagnosis. Zoe also works with numerous healthcare services, sharing her lived experience, including work with Eastern Health, and her role as a lived experience advisor at the Royal Children’s Hospital. Through her stories, Zoe often raises money for people in need. And in 2019, after watching her hometown burn and writing stories as a disabled journalist, Zoe helped raise $13k for bushfire survivors. Zoe wants to show you can still be a leader, be successful and make a difference… even when you’re in pain.
