| INDEPENDENT LIVING CENTRE (ILC) ACT
Independent Living Centres are information resource centres for assistive technology. Each centre displays a comprehensive range of products and equipment to assist with daily living activities. Everybody is welcome to use the ILC services, including people with disabilities, older people, their carers, parents, advocates and other service providers, health professionals, architects, builders, suppliers, manufacturers and students. You can try out products and equipment and select those most suitable prior to purchase. Please note that we do not sell items, we only display them.
Each centre has a localised products and equipment database to complement the display. The occupational therapists on our info-lines use this database to provide information that is relevant to the individual caller’s needs. You can use our info-line services by phone, fax or email. Most of the ILC services are free to the public.
