About our services

Experience your life independently

Everyone experiences the world differently. Whether we’re conscious of them or not, we all learn skills to help us navigate our daily environments. Getting on a train, going to work or school, or functioning at home — each one requires a set of practical abilities.

These skills are essential in getting us out and active in the community – safely exploring the world and our own personal potential. These kinds of skills can be learned in Orientation & Mobility training, or with the support of Occupational Therapists.

‘Orientation’ refers to our understanding of where we are in the environment. ‘Mobility’ relates to our ability to move safely and confidently through the environment. Occupational Therapists teach skills to independently perform all kinds of daily tasks.

Anything is possible with the right support through a service program designed for you. Talk to us about your personal goals and what you hope to achieve in life.

Skills to master your daily goals

Do you want to safely prepare your family meal? Are you hoping to take up gardening to remove the weeds from your front lawn?

Through Occupational Therapy support, our specialists teach you skills to independently perform daily tasks. These can include personal care, domestic duties and may other kinds of community and recreational activities. You tell us what you want to do, we’ll teach you the necessary skills.

Wellbeing services

Connect with similar members of the community.

Our Wellbeing Services provide opportunities to meet and connect with others who have low vision or blindness. They will also offer a space to share experiences, learn more about yourself and develop new skills. If you haven’t accessed mental health or wellbeing support before, this will be a good place to start.

Employment services

Build the skills needed to thrive in all aspects of life.

We recognise that many in the blind and low vision community find it difficult to secure or retain employment.

Our Employment Service connects with people of all ages, including secondary school students and older workers, as they consider career pathways, participate in work experience and voluntary work, prepare a job application, attend an interview, disclose their vision loss, and identify assistive technology needs.
