Stu Schonell

Stu has had a multi-discipline career, from a small business owner in the games industry, to CEO of a Registered Training Organisation, to a university academic teaching business and higher education, to a researcher investigating emotion’s impact on ethics. Throughout his career he has navigated the challenges of work, with the added challenge of being in a wheelchair, and the associated biases and discrimination that comes from having a disability in the Australian workforce. Stu now finds himself in the disability sector, using his knowledge and expertise to support others and using his lived experience of disability to advocate for systemic change.
