Endless Possibilities for All
Assistive Technology (AT) is any device, system or support used by individuals to perform tasks that might otherwise be difficult or impossible. AT range from simple household items like a jar opener to the more complex items like pressure care mattress that prevents pressure sores.

It is with great sadness that after almost 50 years of providing impartial advice to people with disabilities, seniors, carers, allied health professionals and many more others;
ATA is to close its services on 14th April 2023.
We have fallen between a gap in government policy and understanding.
1) NSW government who used to fund us, withdrawn its funding as we are an information provider, and information provision is a Federal responsibility.
2) Australian government will not fund us because they classify us in advocacy. Even as late as a week ago, Minister Shorten insisted that we were an advocacy agency, not an information provider, hence a state responsibility.
The outcome: Loss of impartial advices and key resources for the community.
Can you Help us? Please Write to:
- (State) the NSW Disability minister
- (Federal) Minister Bill Shorten on minister.shorten@dss.gov.au
29 March 2023 - 31 July 2023
We are sad to announce that all registrations to our Training cources are closed.
Due to the lack of Federal and NSW State government funding support, we have fallen through the gap. AT-Aust will be closing its doors on April 14th 2023.
Should a miracle happen that we receive funding for our core business of information provisions, we will resume our Training service. We'll publish the Happy news here.
We understand this may be inconvenient for you all, but it is now unavoidable.
Not only will you lose your Home Mods and impartial AT training provider, you and your clients will lose a valuable AT information service.
If you have any questions please email us training@at-aust.org

Thank you.
