How to choose assistive tech with confidence
When your sight is changing, the number of products and technology available to help can be dizzying. They all promise to make daily life easier — but not every device will be the right match for you.
That’s where Vision Australia can help.
We won’t just narrow down your options. How you see the world is unique and the technology you need is too. The Vision Store team are trained in matching the right products and provide tailored support at every step.
Because we know technology isn’t helpful when it’s collecting dust in a box. For new devices to be effective, you have to feel confident in using it. You need assurance that it can help you keep doing the things you love.
To get started, find the nearest Vision Store near you or you can call us for personalised advice on 1300 84 74 66.
Cutting through the confusion: How it works
Finding new technology can create choice anxiety, especially if you’re not sure what will help you keep doing what you love most. Our team offers a full service experience at every Vision Store, including:
- Product suitability: Tell us about your goals or challenges and we’ll select the best products to consider, at the best price.
- Ease of use: Our team can help you decide what features you will actually use, helping your final decision on what to buy.
- Transition to new devices: When you’re considering an upgrade or change in technology, we can make this process smoother so you won’t miss a beat when you switch.
- Training and support: Whether it’s your first time using assistive technology or you’re moving to a new product, we’ll make it easier with tailored training and support (much better than that manual you binned accidentally!)
- Funding: Most products and training sessions at Vision Store are funded under a government program such as NDIS or Home Support programs. If you don’t have access to funding, we can provide guidance on how to apply or refer you on for further assistance.
You don’t need to be a client of Vision Australia to benefit from the expertise of the Vision Store team. If you’re considering any kind of technology to support your vision at home or in the office, we’re ready to help.
Our team are ready to chat about any device that could make your life easier. When you’re ready to get started, please visit a Vision Store or give us a call on 1300 84 74 66.
