The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower enables people with non-visible disabilities to access the support they need. It acts as a prompt for someone to choose to let people around them know they have a non-visible disability and that they may need a helping hand, understanding, or simply more time.
It’s becoming increasingly recognised around the world and also at airports called the hidden disability program. Here’s some links for City of Melbourne and the MCG:
