AT Australia Scoping Review

November 3, 2021

Information asymmetry and assistive technology: the role of brokerage services.
View / Download report
Imagine the impacts on users when there is no independent free information and advice on assistive technology.
The need to reduce Information Asymmetry in AT service provision is often mentioned in Australian government policy documents. It is not well understood and is essential in developing both choice and control, and a consumer focussed marketplace.
AT Australia commissioned a project, the first step of which was to investigate available evidence.
We welcome your feedbacks and input on this topic, email us on welcome@at-aust.org

AT Australia Training - Closed

29 March 2023 - 31 December 2024

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 might be able to re-consider our Training programs.
We understand that this may be inconvenient for you all, but it is now unavoidable. You lose your Home Mods and impartial AT training provider, you and your clients 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.
