Welcome back to One Grate Conversation. Back in September 2023 we caught up with Dinesh Palipana OAM here in the studio and spoke about such important topics, the standout for us was "seeing problems as opportunities."

Growing up in Sri Lanka where the opportunities were slim and he was exposed to war, violence and suffering from an early age he was able to harness these events that he experienced as a way of focusing on things that were in his control and that in and of itself is truly inspirational. To then have a car accident so devastating and life changing and come back from that stronger and more determined than ever, well that's just next level.

Dinesh Palipana OAM is an Australian doctor, lawyer, scientist and disability advocate. He is the first quadriplegic medical intern in Queensland, Australia. He is the second person with quadriplegia to graduate as a doctor in Australia and the first with spinal cord injury. As a result of his injury and experiences, Dinesh has been an advocate for inclusion. He is a founding member of Doctors with Disabilities Australia.

There are so many key takeaways in this episode as well as a story of sheer heart, determination and gratitude that we are sure everyone will benefit from listening to.
