Feature informonline.org.au 21 A desire to connect people and a passion for film and inclusion are just a few of the things that drive Tracey Corbin-Matchett. Married to her best friend and raising three children, two of whom live with disability, Tracey made the switch to the film and TV industry five years ago after working in social housing and domestic violence services. Shaped by her childhood and her experiences growing up in public housing, Tracey wants to change the way the world supports vulnerable people. But film is not her only passion. Sport also features largely in her life. A director of Deaf Sports Australia, Tracey, who is hard of hearing, loves the way sport, like film, can bring people together.
