Despite Covid and a year filled with challenges the ATSA Expo in Melbourne triumphed.
The sold-out two-day expo was the largest disability event to be held anywhere in the world this year, attracting 3000 visitors and 160 exhibitors on May 18-19.
Shadow Minister for the NDIS, Bill Shorten was a guest speaker. (See main story). He spoke about strengthening the AT sector by encouraging a domestic industry with more manufacturing and investment.
One of the exhibitors at the expo, trivida, a detachable wheelchair wheel, announced local manufacturing of the carbon version will start in August.
