LiveUp Better Practice Guide for Culturally Safe information about assistive products
The Guide represents iLA’s first steps on a lifelong journey to help decolonise the Assistive Technology space, and to genuinely centre First Nations perspectives in information about assistive products. Through the Guide, iLA aims to create a shared vision for a culturally safe LiveUp, so that the initiative can better educate and engage older First Nations people on low-risk and under-advice assistive products
