Macquarie Telecom has announced it has established a new partnership with Australian not-for-profit Civic Disability Services.
The partnership will create a digital foundation that will enable independent living opportunities for clients and free up time for essential disability support workers that can be better used providing care and assistance.
Celsus Joseph, CIO, Civic Disability Services, said: “It’s actually quite a simple innovation, but it can make a world of difference for our clients, and Macquarie has given us a rock-solid technology backbone to make it all work together.”
Using Macquarie Telecom’s NBN partnership, SD-WAN technology and mobile services as a foundation in 55 sites, Civic has been able to accelerate its use of assistive technology (AT).
Civic has adopted AT through safety-related sensors, building access technology and climate control, with AT also adopted for individual clients to support them in independent living.
The organization’s mission – to create real change in individual lives and the community, ensuring economic and social inclusion, lifelong education, access to safe homes and healthcare – is underpinned by a commitment to technology that has allowed it to extend its impact in the past few years.
