Elly Desmarchelier is a proud disabled woman.
As a speaker, writer, event facilitator and disability rights advocate, Elly’s fierce advocacy has led her to being the national spokesperson for the Defend our NDIS campaign during the 2022 Federal Election, and speaking at the Prime Minister’s 2022 Jobs and Skills Summit.
From appearing on national TV on shows such as The Project, ABC’s The Drum, Q&A and 7:30, to speaking at the Sydney Opera House for the 2023 All About Women Festival, Elly shares her insights and experiences on being a disabled woman in modern society. Her writing has been featured in national publications such as Sydney Morning Herald, The Guardian and the ABC. She was also a finalist in the Marie Claire’s 2022 Women of the Year Awards.
Fuelling her advocacy, Elly is determined to create change for the 1 in 5 Australians with disability and believes that’s only possible if people with disability have a seat at the table.
