More about our speakers...

The Seaton’s: When our eldest child had appendicitis and was in the old Southport hospital 16yrs ago there was an abandoned baby who had multiple heath issues. When the Red Cross lady told me he had been birthed and left I asked what will happen to him. She said he will be made Ward of the state. I asked what does that mean and she said he would be fostered out. That night I can home and said to Stuart the story, and I wanted to help babies like this.  We had 4 of our own, and I was at home so we decided to do the course, and January 2009 we received our first placement, a premmie baby, and the following 90 plus children have been through our home for the next 14.5years. We have adopted our long term placement who we got at 6 days, he is now 9.5.

Nick Marshall: Sports and musculoskeletal physiotherapist, Assistant Professor Nick Marshall, has a passion for ensuring those with special needs and disability are included in the community. In 2015, Nick created the Albatross Nippers; an all-inclusive junior lifesaving program at Nobbys Beach on the Gold Coast, which helps children with special needs experience nippers with other children of similar ages. Growing year on year, the Albatross Nippers program currently has more than 100 families with special needs children and young adults as registered participants.
