Meet the Team: Karen Dorlandt

Karen is our manager for GEAT (Goods, Equipment, and Assistive Technology) and has been with us for three years, working hard to ensure that clients across the country receive the assistive technology that they need.

New look and functionality for geat2GO

Geat2GO has been updated with a brand-new design and functionality to make it easy for assistive technology prescribers to access and compare AT.

With new features such as a brand-new dashboard view, request view, and the ability to compare different products, requesting and keeping updated on the status of equipment orders is now easier than ever for prescribers.

What's happening at ILA

AT can help older people age well at home. However, older First Nations people who might benefit experience significant barriers to access, including a lack of culturally safe information. LiveUp’s latest article with Croakey Health Media discusses the LiveUp Better Practice Guide for culturally sensitive information about assistive products, which aims to inspire deeper intercultural conversations about assistive product provision.

Keep Able’s new module Communicating Wellness and Reablement will help you understand the key differences between traditional home care and wellness and reablement approaches. You will also learn new ways to communicate and reinforce these approaches, thereby supporting your clients to stay at home for longer and thrive in their independence.
