Many organisations, including senior and aged care facilities, schools, universities, TAFEs, hospitals and other service providers, seek our assistance to educate and train staff who work with people who are blind or vision impaired. We have developed a series of modules that can be selected according to different needs. These modules are delivered in our custom-built training centre at Victoria Park.

We firmly believe that people learn through active involvement. Participants in our training will experience vision impairment through a series of events under blindfold and will discover strategies to enhance their interactions with people with vision loss.
