Perisher Ski Resort<\/a>, Australia, has joined the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower program, marking a significant step toward creating a more inclusive and supportive experience for all guests.\u00a0<\/strong>The globally recognised Sunflower program offers a simple and discreet way for people with non-visible disabilities to\u00a0indicate\u00a0they may need\u00a0additional\u00a0understanding,\u00a0time\u00a0or\u00a0assistance. Hidden disabilities can include anxiety, ADHD, autism, sensory processing differences, chronic\u00a0pain\u00a0and temporary injuries, among many others.<\/p>\n

Busy, high-energy environments such as ski resorts can sometimes feel overwhelming.<\/strong> The Sunflower program helps remove barriers by giving guests the confidence to seek support without needing to explain their condition.<\/p>\n
