Technology for Ageing and Disability (SA) - TADSA

For over 42 years, Technology for Ageing and Disability (TADSA) has created custom solutions that support the independence, wellbeing, and participation of people living with disability. Skilled volunteers—engineers, technicians, tradespeople and others—design, build, and modify equipment that improves everyday life, from mobility and communication to recreation and work. While most volunteers create equipment from their own workshops, TADSA’s small office in Blacks Road, Gilles Plains coordinates the service. Despite its size, TADSA has a big impact. Clients often describe our work as “levelling the playing field” and enabling them to do things they never thought possible. TADSA’s inventions change lives. Our Freedom Wheels program gives children and adults the chance to ride a bike independently. Most of the equipment we provide isn’t commercially available, meaning many people would go without if not for TADSA. The more people who know about TADSA, the more people we can help.
