As part of the ongoing celebrations to mark International White Cane Day, clients of VisAbility had an exclusive guided tour of Optus Stadium. Our staff met with most of the group at our offices opposite Victoria Park train station last Saturday morning and then journeyed to Optus Stadium by train to meet up with the rest of the crew. The group then navigated the outside of the Stadium to Gate D, where they joined in on a guided tour with tour guide Bruce. It was a great day out and the group asked lots of questions about Optus Stadium and its capacity and behind the scenes secrets.

We’re bursting with pride as we celebrate Kane Perris, VisAbility staff member and client, for his record-breaking achievements at the 2025 UCI Para Cycling Track World Championships in Rio de Janeiro! 🥇

In a stunning comeback 18 months after a devastating crash on the same track, Kane returned with purpose, and left with 1 gold medal, 2 silver medals, 2 world records, and 1 world championship title... absolutely phenomenal work!

Kane and pilot Luke Zaccaria stormed the Tandem Team Sprint, setting a new world record of 49.288 seconds and claiming the world championship title. Kane also secured silver in both the Time Trial and Sprint events, rounding out an incredible week with three podium finishes.

This achievement is about more than the medals - it’s a story of resilience, teamwork, and redemption. Kane’s own words say it best: "18 months ago, this track took everything from us after a heavy crash. This year, we came back on a mission for redemption… to come away with 3 podiums this week is truly special."

Kane, your determination and grit inspire us all. Congratulations from everyone at VisAbility, we’re truly honoured to be part of your journey. 👏

Take a journey through sound, touch, and vision. 🌿

Earlier this year, blind artist Tony Sarre and creative collaborator Lincoln MacKinnon ventured across Peru. They trekked the Andes, dove into the Amazon, and connected with communities where blindness is part of everyday life. All to gather stories, textures, and sounds that celebrate resilience, creativity, and connection.

Now, they’re inviting you to experience the first glimpse of their inclusive exhibition, toParan - a sensory-rich collection of tactile 2.5D prints, immersive soundscapes, and visual works.

Be part of the creative process! You’ll have the chance to touch, see, and hear these works-in-progress, and to offer valuable feedback that will help shape the exhibition’s accessibility and inclusivity.

📍 Fremantle Arts Centre
📅 10am on Thursday 30th October

Today, our executive team, including CEO Anna Presser and COO Felicity Beaulieu, had the pleasure of hosting a delegation of seven ophthalmic academics from the Universitas Indonesia at our Victoria Park facilities.

The visit was coordinated by Bill Morgan from Lions Eye Institute and offered a valuable opportunity to exchange insights across borders.

Our guests enjoyed a comprehensive site tour and an engaging presentation from our specialist Vision Clinicians, including an Orthoptist, Occupational Therapist, and Orientation and Mobility Specialist, who showcased the unique nature of vision services provided by VisAbility and the EverAbility Group.

The delegation was particularly impressed by the scale and reach of our services, and our strong focus on promoting independence and participation for people with low vision and blindness. Many of the aids and equipment in our Resource Centre, such as the white mobility cane, were new to them, highlighting the potential for knowledge-sharing and innovation.

We look forward to building on this new relationship and contributing to enhanced clinical capability in the Vision sector in Indonesia.

This month, we had the absolute pleasure of welcoming second-year Optometry students from The University of Western Australia and Edith Cowan University (ECU) to VisAbility!

Each session was a jam-packed day filled with opportunities to explore the services we offer and discover how we can support their future patients in living independently and confidently.

Students got hands on with our assistive technology and daily living aids, experienced simulation activities to better understand vision impairment, and heard from passionate guest speakers across our multidisciplinary team.

We loved connecting with such an enthusiastic group and inspiring the next generation of optometrists to think beyond the clinic, and see the bigger picture of vision support. 👓
