A licence helps Georgina get up and running

Georgina joined Geraldton’s PCYC Driving and Equity Program determined to finally get her P plates — a goal she had been working towards since 2018. 

Growing up on Billabalong Station in the Murchison region, over 200km from Geraldton, Georgina faced significant barriers including limited access to a safe car, no available supervising driver, learning disabilities, anxiety, ADHD, autism, auditory processing difficulties and three ankle surgeries.

Despite these challenges, Georgina remained committed.

 “It’s been a long, emotional and stressful journey not just for me, but for my family too,” Georgina said.

“Now that I have my P plates, I can finally live my life, be independent, get a job and help my family back on the station.”

The PCYC team recognised Georgina’s determination from the start and staff worked around her visits to town, sometimes even assisting with transport to other appointments. 

“We are exceptionally proud of Georgina,” a PCYC representatives said. “Her resilience and perseverance are inspiring.”

Georgina is now looking forward to visiting loved ones, supporting her family and embracing new opportunities. 

“I’m so grateful to the Geraldton PCYC team. This program has truly changed my life,” Georgina said.
