Nationally, people with disability are unemployed at more than twice the rate of people without disability — and 63% face barriers to social and community participation every single day.

1 in 5 (19%) people with disability aged 15–64 experienced social isolation, compared with 9.5% without disability, and 36% were not satisfied with their local community compared with 25% of those without disability.

63% of people with disability aged 15 and over experienced barriers to participating in social and community activities in the last three months.

Bus Stop Films was built to change these numbers. We connect people with disability to real creative careers, programs and social connection- Proving that lives change when our stories are heard, seen and valued.
