Freya (she/her) is 19 and from Naarm. 

Freya is passionate about creating a more inclusive and accessible world and school system for people who are disabled, neurodiverse and/or chronically ill. 

Freya has a border collie called Mickey who she’d consider to be a child of sorts. He keeps her on her feet and is very affectionate. They sometimes volunteer as a therapy dog team because she knows that he brings people such comfort and joy to all when in challenging circumstances. 

Freya works part time as an actress and model and works on projects that she is passionate about within the disability advocacy sector.

YDAS

The Youth Disability Advocacy Service (YDAS) is an advocacy organisation that works with disabled young people aged 12 to 25.

We work with disabled young people in Victoria to make sure you can speak up and are being treated fairly. You can access our free advocacy service if you need advice or support.

We run programs so that you can learn to speak up for yourself and others. We talk with disabled young people about what matters most to you. We then help the government and other organisations understand those issues so they can treat disabled young people fairly.

YDAS is a core agency of Youth Affairs Council Victoria (YACVic). YDAS was established in 2006 and is funded by the Victorian Government.
