Our People
The team behind LifeTec Australia
LifeTec Australia has supported Queenslanders since 1981 with independent, evidence‑based advice on assistive technology (AT). Our organisation is built on a passionate team who genuinely care about making everyday life safer, easier and more independent for the people we work with.
Our allied health professionals, including occupational therapists and speech pathologists, work together to help individuals find the right assistive technology for their goals. We support people across mobility, daily living, AAC, home modifications, and services for older Australians and people with progressive conditions.
Our clinicians are supported by a committed team of management and service staff who help maintain high standards of quality, accessibility and person‑centred care.
LifeTec is a positive and inclusive workplace that encourages continual learning, fresh ideas and innovative technologies. Our people bring curiosity, compassion and practical expertise to every interaction, ensuring individuals and families feel informed and empowered.
