HMMS conference delegates at the new ILC Display

September 14, 2012

12 Sept 2012, ILCNSW welcomed 60 delegates of the National Home Modifications conference to our new site, where we display Assistive Technologies and Home Modifications in context, within an apartment built to the Livable Housing Design Guidelines.

Delegates toured the site, inspected the display apartment with the assistance of staff and suppliers, attended a talk on Home Automation by our OT Andrew Chia, followed by a BBQ and networking.



It's wonderful that we had an opportunity to "show off" our new display, full of items of promoting 'possibilities'.

Raising the Alarm: Smoke Alarm Subsidy Scheme for People Who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing

August 15, 2012

NSW Minister for Disability Services, Andrew Constance, announced on 1 Aug-2012 the Smoke Alarm Subsidy Scheme (SASS) to protect the lives of people who are deaf, deafblind or hard of hearing. The NSW Government has invested $2 million for the scheme, which aims to give people with impaired hearing the same protections as smoke alarms do for others.
Applications for the subsidy can be made to the Deaf Society of NSW, which provides information and services to people who are deaf, deafblind or hard of hearing and their families.

AT Australia Training - Closing

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
For more info or you might want to support us.
Thank you.
