Talking Vision is Vision Australia's national radio program on blindness and low vision.

This week, we mark National Volunteers Week with a glimpse at the place of volunteering in the lives of people who are blind or have low vision. We find out about the range of volunteering opportunities one can take up with Vision Australia. Two people who have served as volunteers for over 45 years, tell their story. We hear from a lady who is blind, who talks about her years of service to the community of Sydney through the Community Visitors Scheme.

Participants this week are:
  • Deb Barton, National Manager of Vision Australia’s Volunteer Program;
  • Elizabeth and husband Neil Maxwell OAM, long time volunteers with Vision Australia in Melbourne;
  • Coral Arnold from Five Dock Sydney, talking about her community volunteering.

You can listen here to the program or go to the Talking Vision web page for broadcast details, an outline of past programs and links to the associated audio.
