Too Much To Ask?

Too Much to Ask?

When you're a dad of a child with a disability, asking for support at work can feel like walking a tightrope.

In this episode, I share a personal story and perspectives about disclosing my family's needs in the workplace and how one employer said all the right things… until it got inconvenient.

We’ll talk about:

The silent stigma dads face in the workplace

What happens when “supportive” is just surface-level

The emotional cost of hiding what's really going on

The very real legal protections you have as a carer under Australian law

And practical advice for other dads navigating work, disclosure, and advocacy

This one is for the dads quietly carrying the load, and wondering if telling the truth will cost them their job.
