After surviving a life-altering accident that left him almost 55 percent burnt in 2009, Vidyasagaran Haran Ramachandran turned his personal recovery into a lifelong commitment to community service. Through decades of work with Rotary clubs and cultural organisations across Australia and abroad, he has impacted many lives. In this episode, he reflects on his journey from dependence to leadership, and what it means to receive the Medal of the Order of Australia in the 2025 King’s Birthday Honours.
