What We Do

About the AT Mentor Project

AT Mentor is a twelve month pilot program designed to give more choice and control to NDIS participants around their assistive technology (aids & equipment) and home modification needs.

AT Mentors have lived experiences of using assistive technology (AT). They assist others by mentoring and supporting them in making informed choices about their AT and home mods needs.

AT Mentors are supported by the allied health professionals at the Independent Living Centre NSW
