About Grit Media

Grit Media is a project of Disability Media Inc. We are based in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. We aim to bring awareness of disability into people’s homes through the production of media including television, video, film, print and radio.

It is anticipated that this will allow Australians generally to see disability as a natural part of life and be increasingly comfortable with seeing, hearing and discussing all aspects of disability much as they would any other realities of day to day life.

It will do this by producing images of disability that are realistic, compelling and engaging. Grit Media has been developed in response to the paucity of presence in the Australian media of people with disabilities.

We are a Victorian, not-for-profit organisation with the purpose of producing media with, for and by people with disabilities. We are a grass roots community organisation that has the capacity to deliver a service nationally, and which has a national and international audience. Our role is to facilitate the process, with a focus on cross-media. It will initiate, develop and manage the production of the full range of media.
