After three decades of wonderful service to Tasmanians with disability, TADTas has made the difficult decision to close its doors.
The individual specialised technical solutions offered by our dedicated volunteers have struggled to find a place in the expanded NDIS environment, with a trend to larger scale providers and commercially available assistive technology.
With the closure of services in early 2024, TADTas has now donated its remaining funds to establish the TADTas Scholarship for Innovation in Assistive Technology through the University of Tasmania to endow an annual scholarship in perpetuity. This scholarship aims to encourage students to engage in the innovative development of assistive technologies to assist those living with disability.
The Tasmanian Freedom Wheels modified bike program will be continued by a partnership between our interstate sister organisation Freedom Solutions and local provider St Giles. Click the link below for more information.
And St Giles is expanding its assistive technology offerings through its Focus AT program. Contact St Giles for more information.
