It’s Day 2 of Speech Pathology Week in Australia! ✨

Today’s theme is Confidence through Communication – enabling people to express themselves clearly and proudly.

At LifeTec, we believe every voice matters, and with the right support and tools, everyone deserves to communicate with confidence. 💜

🙌 A big thank you to all the incredible Speechies out there for the amazing work you do every day!

Eye gaze lets you look. The switch lets you choose.

Together, they give people more control and reduce errors when using communication devices — especially for those with complex access needs.

At LifeTec, our Alternative Access service supports people to find the right combination of tools like eye gaze, switches, and more to access technology in their own way.

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) isn’t just English.

It can be personalised to the language you speak — whether that’s English, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese or something else entirely.

AAC should reflect your culture, your comfort, and your voice.

Let’s make communication inclusive for everyone!

Ever heard of an Assistive Technology (AT) prescription?
It’s a formal recommendation written by a qualified health professional, and it’s often required to access funding through the NDIS or My Aged Care.

Whether you're looking to trial a mobility aid, communication device, or daily living tool - a prescription helps make sure the equipment suits your needs and meets safety guidelines.

Want to know if you're eligible? Chat with our team and we’re here to help!

Behind every successful AAC setup is a collaborative team effort!

In this setup, our Speechie Bryan teamed up with OT Duane and Rorey, a wheelchair technician from GS Electronics (Power Mobility), to get everything just right - from the device and mount to the seating and positioning.

Because communication isn’t just about the device - it’s about comfortable access and being practical.

✅ No wasted time or money

LifeTec’s Story

LifeTec is a social enterprise that provides dedicated assistive technology (AT) services. Our aim is to enable people of all ages and abilities to actively engage in home, work, school and community life.

We are experts in recommending the correct use of assistive technology, displaying hundreds of helpful items in our Ambient Living Display Centres, and we have an extensive online database of many more. Our qualified health professionals will give you impartial advice so that you can make informed decisions about what is best for you.

Established in 1981 as The Independent Living Centre by Louise van Willigen, LifeTec has been providing specialist advice and information to help people make their lives easier through assistive technology.

Louise was an astute, energetic, and visionary leader. On its opening, the Independent Living Centre was a modest one-room display staffed only by Louise herself in a humble demountable unit on the grounds of the Greenslopes Hospital.
