Our team pride themselves on supporting teachers make the move to evidence-based teaching.

Australia’s leader in bringing worldwide assistive technology to members of our community living with differing abilities. Our mission is to provide inclusive innovation or innovative inclusion – how ever you want to look at it…
It’s been quite a journey – since our management team joined the industry in 1995! We’ve evolved from a specialist provider of powered assistive technology devices, to include a manufacturing division of lifting/transfer systems – then to restructure in 2016 and hyper-specialise in areas of healthcare that are little known and even less understood.
We decided a long time ago that life for persons with additional needs was more than just the powered wheelchair that would eliminate every task they could manage themselves. It was more than just the product that could help them transfer from A to B at end-of-life. It was adapted to their very specific needs TODAY!
