Assistive Technology Assessment & Trial

Support to help you find the right assistive technology for your goals, routines and daily life.

What We Do

LifeTec provides assistive technology assessments and trials for NDIS participants, older adults, people with disability, and private clients.

We are a registered NDIS provider, and our services are also available to people who are not accessing the NDIS — anyone can receive support from LifeTec.

We assess a wide range of assistive technology needs, including daily living aids, mobility and movement, seating and positioning, communication and AAC, vision and cognition, home and environmental controls, and alternative access options such as switches, eye gaze and mounting.

Funding options include NDIS, Aged Care, CHSP and private funding. If you’re unsure which pathway applies to you, contact us.
