Video: At a dining table, a young man with Down Syndrome, Michael, and a middle aged man, Greg, read through a list of suburbs.
Audio: Michael: Ashfield. Bullsbrook. Beldon. Brigadoon. Greg: Brigadoon, yeah. Good job.
Video: They are interviewed sitting side by side in the lounge room. Michael has dark hair and a beard, Greg wears glasses. Text: "Greg and Michael Richardson."
Audio: Greg: I'm really proud of Michael. Michael is very caring. He loves challenges. He loves to sing. He's a great kid. Great kid.
Michael: Kid?
Greg: Oh, sorry. Yeah, he doesn't like being called a kid. He's a great guy.
Video: Aerial footage shows a leafy seaside suburb. The title 'Journeys' appears in white text above the Australia Post logo. Family members of different generations gather around Michael and Greg as they look through an album of baby photos. The interview continues.
Audio: Greg: We moved to Australia from India. Girl: We went in 2001. Greg: 2001.
Greg: And one of the reasons for coming over was Michael, for his future. And we just took the risk.
Video: They look through photos of a chubby baby and of Michael in a school uniform. The interview continues.
Audio: Michael: Oh. Girl: Is that Michael? Child: Is that Michael? Michael: Yeah, yeah, it's me.
Audio: Michael: High school is very challenging. I'm always being deaf. If I don't listen to my teachers, I will...go to the principal's office.
Greg: I felt, you know, Michael can do better than that. And I think every parent should feel that, because if you don't feel that, that kid is, you know, stuck.
Video: In a huge warehouse, large metal baskets of parcels flank conveyor belts. A red Australia Post truck contains baskets full of parcels. Greg holds a meeting for staff. They all wear bright yellow safety gear. Later, Greg takes photos.
Audio: Greg: So, I've been working for Australia Post for over 17 years. Every July, Australia Post will advertise for Christmas casuals, and I thought, "This is the perfect time. We should try and get Michael in." But he couldn't even read at the time. I took photos of all the signages and every evening after school, I would get Michael at the dining table and make him read.
Video: Michael and Greg read together at the table.
Audio: Michael: Aveley. Beldon.
Greg: It was difficult initially, but Michael now knows half of the 3,000 suburbs in Western Australia. And now Michael is permanent part-time for almost two years now. Michael: Mmm.
Video: Trees are silhouetted against the bright orange horizon and the paler orange sky. Wearing yellow safety jumpers, Greg and Michael head into a building. They work among the conveyor belts or parcels. Tags with suburb names and postcodes hang from a rack. A long list of suburbs is headed 'Central Coastal'. Working with a colleague, Michael checks a parcel.
Audio: Greg: There are about 100,000 parcels which come through our facility every day. It has grown more than 100 times what we were, because every year there are new suburbs. Michael likes to go to the Gold Fields. Initially...
Michael: No. I like to go to South Roads, GSR, North west, CCM and Gold Fields. Greg: You work everywhere. Michael: Yeah. Greg: Ah, OK, OK.
Video: In the warehouse, Greg runs a meeting. His staff, including Michael, stand in a large circle around him. Michael checks parcels on a conveyor belt, and grabs one. The interview continues.
Audio: Greg: Not as a dad, but as a supervisor, I follow up his work to make sure that some customer's parcel is not mis-sorted or going to the wrong place, and I've not found a mistake. I think he's just grasped the opportunity and he's really doing well.
Video: Greg, Michael and colleagues walk through the warehouse. Michael and colleagues chat at tables and near conveyor belts.
Audio: Michael: I love to work at Australia Post. It's a wonderful place. I chat with my friends about where they're born, when's their birthdays, and their love story also.
Video: Michael closes a metal basket, then writes on a document. He wheels a basket of parcels through the warehouse. He takes a parcel from the conveyor belt and examines its address. He chats and laughs with a colleague. Michael checks parcels on a conveyor belt. Nearby, Greg checks the contents of a basket.
Audio: Greg: Since Michael has started working at Australia Post, the management has employed many more people with disability in the workforce. To me, it's not about Michael. It's about looking at Michael and seeing, yes, he is capable of doing these things. These people bring so much life into the workplace and others in the workplace can also understand more about this and be more tolerant. And if ever a person with a disability should work in a place where they would get equal opportunity, I think that was the perfect place for Michael.
Michael: He is proud of me.
Greg: I am very proud of you, Michael. You're doing a fantastic job.
Michael: Thank you.
Video: In the warehouse, Greg stands with his arm around Michael's shoulders. Parcels cruise past on a conveyor belt.
The Australia Post logo appears on a red screen. Text reads, "Watch the full Journeys series at auspost.com.au/watch." The text fades. The words "Australia Post" appear beside the stylised 'P' of the logo above the words "Delivering for Australia."
Audio: Voiceover: Australia Post. Delivering for Australia.
