Caroline Livanos
Founder and lead writer
I write plain language and Easy Read communications for people with low English literacy, including people with disability and people from multicultural backgrounds.
After working as a marketing professional for over 25 years, I completed a graduate diploma in editing and publishing at RMIT in 2012. I then consulted as a plain language specialist for a variety of organisations.
I started writing Easy Read in 2015 and managed Scope’s Accessible Information service from 2016 to 2021. During that time I wrote Easy Read and plain language resources for government agencies, not-for-profits and corporate organisations. I also delivered training, facilitated consumer testing with people with disability and advocated for more accessible written information in the community.
I started Easy Read Australia to continue this important work. I’m a big believer in equality for all. My eldest son, Michael, was diagnosed with autism in 2003 and I’ve seen first-hand the barriers people with disability face in our community. Michael has inspired me to make a real difference through my work.
