ILC Country Services – Assistive Equipment, Technology and Allied Health - Duration: 2:42.
The Independent Living Centre is all about increasing people's independence, safety
and well-being.
Certainly assistive technology is our specialty and we have lots of experienced health professionals
who are able to provide information and advice around that technology.
The ILC is staffed by an amazing group of dynamic and enthusiastic people who are passionate
about providing support to people to maintain their independence.
So certainly having all three disciplines being speech pathology, occupational therapy
and physiotherapy means that were able to address people's needs in a really holistic
way to provide that service that maximises people's potential.
At the ILC we provide a range of different services for people living in the country
to access.
We have a fabulous helpline that people can ring up or email. We have a fantastic website
and an interactive national equipment database.
People living in regional areas can also access the ILC through videoconferencing and Skype.
And we also provide virtual tours of our display floor at Nedlands.
The ILC visits various regions we have our ILC country caravan that we bring to regional
areas.
We've covered the whole of Western Australia virtually from Kununurra to Esperance and
anywhere in between.
I think the hardest thing for people living in rural or remote areas accessing services
is the fact that they don't really know what's out there.
Certainly that's one of the challenges being in regional areas that access to some of those
items to physically trial and see that it's going to be the most appropriate for somebody
can be a particular challenge.
I think having the ILC come out with a van with all the equipment is making the community
more aware of what is out there.
We're bringing assistive equipment to really remote places.
And being able to service country areas with our caravan and with our country team of experts
it's a fantastic way to support people to maintain their independence safety and well-being
in their own homes.
Mainly the biggest difference is the fact that people are able to stay in their homes longer
You know This equipment is more enabling for them and gives them more independence
and that's what we want so it's great.
