Who is LifeTec?

LifeTec is a social enterprise that provides dedicated assistive technology (AT) services.

Established in 1981, LifeTec has a team of health professionals including occupational therapists, speech pathologists and physiotherapists who have a passion for AT.

What is assistive technology?

Assistive technology is any product, device or system that provides people with practical solutions to everyday life activities. Assistive technology helps millions of people learn, work, socialise, achieve independence, or simply get more out of their lives.

You make the choices

With Consumer Directed Care (CDC) such as NDIS and My Aged Care now available, people will be able to choose where and how they want to invest their funding support. This includes funding for AT. This type of person-centred care is designed to encourage people to make their own choices about the support they need to live their potential. LifeTec shares the same goals

Assistive technology pathway

• Imagine the possibilities - LifeTec can assist you to imagine the things you want to do and what products or technologies could help you achieve this
• Seek information and Advice - Learn about and explore some AT options to best enable you to achieve your goals and aspirations.
• Choose the best options for you - LifeTec will work with you to choose your AT through a process of assessment, trial and prescription.
• Live successfully with AT - Once you have acquired your chosen AT, LifeTec can set-up, fit and train you on its use. We are available for ongoing support as your needs change and grow.
