✨Did you know?✨

In 2023–2024, falls cause 43% of all injury hospitalisations in Australia - across all age groups.

🏠 Minor Home Modifications like grab rails, specialty task lighting, and non-slip flooring can make a big difference.

But that’s not all, there are many other practical solutions such as lever taps, handheld showers, stair railings, threshold ramps, and bathroom safety upgrades.

These small changes can reduce falls by up to 30%, helping you stay safe and independent at home.

Our Occupational Therapists assess, prescribe, and recommend modifications tailored to your needs.

Did you know that around 30% of assistive technology gets abandoned when the wrong item is chosen or when there’s not enough support after it arrives?

That’s why an Assistive Technology (AT) assessment is so important.
It’s a chance for a health professional to understand your needs, preferences, and goals — and explore which solutions will actually work for your daily life.

At LifeTec, we help you choose, trial, and learn the assistive tech that truly supports your independence, not adds frustration.

Let’s talk about low-tech communication devices!

Not all AAC (Augmentative & Alternative Communication) needs to be high-tech.

Simple tools like communication boards and picture cards can make a big impact — quick to use, easy to access, and ideal for everyday conversations.

Because meaningful communication starts with the right tools. 🌟

✨ Our speechie Bryan is showing how we can tailor Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC) trials for adult clients using high-tech solutions that can align with their needs!

1. Symbol-based gridsets like VocoChat are great for quick common phrases, functional communication and help reduce fatigue during conversations.

2. Keyboard-based layouts such as AEIOU are ideal for composing new messages, and supporting more independent communication over time.

For clients with fine motor challenges, we can adjust touchscreen settings such as touch-and-hold activation or visual pop-up guides to make selections easier and more accurate.

💬 Every AAC setup is unique, and we love helping clients find what works best for them.

We recently welcomed Speech Pathologists from Far North Queensland for a Professional Development session focused on high-tech AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication).

As two of the few SLPs providing speech therapy across Cooktown and Thursday Island, they play a vital role in supporting communication access in remote communities.

At LifeTec, our Speech Pathologist is skilled in providing mentoring, training, and hands-on learning experiences to help professionals build confidence in prescribing and supporting AAC.

If your team is looking to strengthen your knowledge in communication technology and assistive solutions, we’d love to support your next learning session.

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.
