Having access to technology is a convenient part of most people’s lives. For people with disabilities, it can be life-changing. Assistive technologies such as robotics, virtual reality and exoskeletons have the power to transform lives by enabling greater freedom, independence and functionality. Right now we are in a period of exciting technological advancements, but due to prohibitive costs and access very few Australian’s with disability are benefitting.
For 120 years, Royal Rehab has been a leading provider of rehabilitation and disability services and continues to pioneer in this sector. Our not-for-profit organisation is in a unique position to reimagine the world for people with disabilities. You can be part of this journey by supporting us to undertake necessary research, access specialist staff and invest in new technologies that will change lives through a dedicated centre of excellence – the Assistive Technology Hub.
