Great to have you at @ARATAaus #AATC2024 @BethSheehan @ISWPorg - just so sorry I didn’t get time to chat to you more but I did read your poster ☺️☺️
On Friday our Programme Manager @BethSheehan attended #AATC2024 on the Gold Coast. A great opportunity to listen to the 5Ps in the context of Australia, the challenges and uplifting moments of tourism and accessible travel and the international sector of #AssistiveTechnology.
A very important media release - thank you @SpeechPathAus & @dietitiansaus for shining a light on this significant gap in the new @NDIS support lists
