Farming with a Traumatic Brain Injury: Billy’s Story

When a motorbike accident left farmer Billy Bubb with severe spinal and lung injuries and a traumatic brain injury, doctors told him he’d never walk again. But Billy wasn’t done farming. Through adaptive equipment, determination, and the support of his parents and dog Goose, Billy rebuilt his life and returned to his beef farm in Cobden, VIC. Billy’s story is a powerful example of resilience, accessible farming, and the importance of safety and inclusion across rural Australia. His advocacy for protective gear and disability confidence is helping shape safer agricultural workplaces for everyone. 🌱 Topics: adaptive farming, traumatic brain injury, spinal injury, inclusive agriculture, rural resilience, disability confidence, farm safety 🎥 Part of the Inclusive Safety Series Proudly supported by the Victorian Government Farming Safe and Well Program.
