After a spinal cord injury more than 20 years ago that left him in a wheelchair, Jason Wright went through periods of depression and hopelessness. Having turned his
life around, he is now working to help others in the same position adjust to
their new lives. The open doors of his light-filled new home at Buff Point on the Central
Coast, NSW, are very welcoming. It overlooks sparkling Budgewoi Lake since much of Wright’s early life was spent on or in the water. He grew up in Newcastle and had an early job driving a charter boat for a dive shop in Port Stephens. He worked on tall ships in
Sydney Harbour and whale watching boats and trawlers in Hervey Bay. He represented NSW in the Australian Spear Fishing Championships and has spent hours scuba diving.
A turning point for Jason Wright
