The Assistive Technology for All Alliance is campaigning for equal access to AT for those outside the NDIS. Polio Australia is a proud member of the alliance. We are honoured to be joined by Graeme Innes, former Disability Discrimination Commissioner, for an online forum to discuss the issues around equal access to AT and learn more about the #Assisti...veTechForAll campaign.
