Willie prince’s story
Willie Prince’s Story
I’m Willie Prince and I was born on an Aboriginal mission called Cherbourg. I was born healthy, I didn’t have a disability when I was born but I got sick about 16 times before my second birthday. Along the way that caused me to have a disability. I was removed by the advice of the state medical doctor and under the approval of the state protector. Not knowing who you are or where you come from gave me the idea of forming some sort of network, which later formed ATSIDNQ.

Ted’s Story
I’m Ted Thorburn, I have been a member of ATSIDNQ for nearly 12 years and got involved when I was up in far North Queensland, but now I live in Maryborough. When I first lost my sight I found it very hard to get connected with any disability services as there wasn’t much around and many regional people just lived with their disabilities and didn’t reach out. I look forward to seeing the ATSIDNQ network continue to grow and I encourage people to join.
