How The Program Works
Access Tech is here to make assistive technology more accessible, affordable, and flexible for all people with disability in South Australia and Tasmania, empowering you to live independently and participate fully in your community.
How The Program Works
Access Tech is an innovative pilot program designed to make Assistive Technology (AT) more accessible for people with disability across South Australia and Tasmania. Unlike many programs, Access Tech is open to anyone under the age of 65 with a disability, extending its services beyond just NDIS participants. Our goal is to provide an affordable refurbished AT rental service to empower individuals, enhancing their independence and community participation.
Our Services
Through this program, we offer Refurbished Assistive Technology Solutions
- Assistive Technology Rentals: Short- or long-term access to essential assistive technologies, meeting individual needs without the need for permanent purchases.
- Assistive Technology Sales: Refurbished assistive technologies to enhance daily living and independence, with options for customisation.
The pilot program will gather insights and feedback from participants to evaluate its impact and refine our services, aiming to expand access and improve quality for more people.
Our Partners
Ability First is proud to partner with leading organisations, NovitaTech and St Giles, to deliver these services. With their extensive expertise in AT assessment, refurbishment, and distribution, we bring an unparalleled level of care, knowledge, and support to each individual.
Join us on this journey toward greater independence and community involvement for everyone, and let Access Tech support you in reaching your goals.
