TADACT is a not-for-profit organisation and registered NDIS provider that operates to improve quality of life for people in Canberra and the surrounding NSW region by providing customised assistive equipment, also referred to as assistive technology. TADACT is an organisation with the capabilities to think, design, create and modify outside of the box. With a team of volunteers whose skills range from engineering to sewing and an occupational therapist on staff, TADACT is able to make a big difference in the lives of children and adults with a disability and older people by providing assistive equipment that problem-solves for the individual. Who We Can Help We cater for children with developmental delay, children and adults with a disability and for older people in the community. TADACT provides customised assistive equipment for organisations such as hospitals, schools and therapy providers in addition to individual clients. Assistive Equipment Assistive equipment, or assistive technology, is a broad term used to describe equipment that assists with the physical aspects of everyday living. It is any device, system or design that allows an individual to perform an activity they may otherwise be unable or find more difficult to do. It can increase the ease and safety of performing a task. Equipment Catalogue Our catalogue of product designs can be viewed here, but please keep in mind that TADACT can customise any of our current product designs, create customised solutions from beginning to end and modify existing or commercially bought equipment to solve a problem. So if a product design or idea you’re looking for is not noted in our catalogue, you can simply contact us to discuss your situation and we’ll see if our cohort of skilled volunteers can create or modify a piece of equipment to solve the problem. The NDIS TADACT is a registered National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provider.

On 1 February 2021 the Astris Lifecare and Alphacare families joined together to become Alpha Lifecare, combining Australia’s most experienced teams to support our community with a single-minded purpose — to help more people, more often. Or, as we like to say, ‘caring further’. We’re here to help more people more often. To make sure aged care residents can live comfortably in their new home. To make it easier for caregivers to get the tools they need to do what they do best. To take the pressure off hospital professionals with more efficient equipment, and help allied health professionals support their clients living in the community through rehabilitation and recovery to independent living. We want to take care further by helping you find the best solutions for you and your clients, so that we can make a real difference in how Australians live today and in the future.
