Assistive Technology Rental and Refurbishment Pilot for all People with Disabilities
Ability First Australia was recently successful under the Information, Linkages and Capacity Building (ILC) Social and Community Participation program to deliver an Assistive Technology (AT) Rental and Refurbishment Pilot Program.
The funding will pilot an AT rental and refurbishment program that aims to make access to AT simpler, faster and more cost effective.
The program is available to all people with disability, not just NDIS participants, and is ultimately designed to increase the opportunity for people with disability to participate in their communities.
The AT rental, subscription and refurbishment pilot program will initially be run across South Australia and Tasmania, with the potential for further pilot sites, followed by a detailed evaluation.
Ability First will partner with its member organisations, NovitaTech and St Giles, to provide the infrastructure, skills and expertise in AT refurbishment, assessment and distribution.
