Today is

At iLA, our focus is helping people do what matters to them.

Assistive technology (AT) can be part of that - along with the right information, support, and chance to explore what works in everyday life.

As people navigate different changes in their lives, having that support and understanding can make a real difference.

Through AT Chat, LiveUp and KeepAble, we work alongside people to build confidence, share knowledge, and support real choices.

It’s all part of supporting people to live and age well, their way.

👉 If you’d like to share, we’d love to hear how assistive technology fits into your everyday?

This National Reconciliation Week, we’re reflecting on what it means to be All In.

At iLA, it’s reflected in how we work - listening, learning and partnering with First Nations communities to design solutions grounded in real lives, culture and connection.

This week, you may spot iLA and LiveUp on a Reconciliation WA’s Street Banner. This year’s artwork, Murrunpa by Melissa Sunfly, highlights the importance of culture and connection in reconciliation.

Through initiatives like LiveUp, we co-design resources that support people to stay strong, independent and connected as they age. Reconciliation isn’t something we step into for a week - it’s something we build over time through relationships, understanding and action.
