Move today and pave the way 🏃‍♀️🏊🏻‍♀️

By moving 100km this month, you're helping to support kids just like 11-year-old Alfie. Diagnosed with Nystagmus as an infant, Alfie experiences involuntary rapid eye movement and flickering that affects his vision.

Every dollar raised for 100K Your Way ensures that Australians just like Alfie can receive immediate support, helping them to lead active, independent lives 💛

The pedestrian crossing beep isn’t just functional, it’s design history in action. Now part of the NFSA - National Film and Sound Archive of Australia's Sounds of Australia Collection, it's reshaped how people who are blind or have low vision are able to navigate independently.

Everyone recognises the locator ‘tick’, vibrating arrow, and steady crossing tone, but not everyone knows the history and importance behind those features.

“This program has changed my life”.

For many people in Vision Australia’s woodworking program, the opportunity to build something with their own hands has brought about confidence and a renewed sense of purpose.

Plus, it has provided a sense of social connection, allowing people with similar lived experiences to come together and try something new in a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment.

To find out more about our woodworking program, get in touch at info@visionaustralia.org or by calling 1300 847 466.

School’s back! Season 3 of Netflix’s is out this week and we loved being invited to a special screening of episode one last night!
With the audio description track playing live in the cinema, Vision Australia clients, staff and members of the Netflix team got an immersive experience of the hit show and a great understanding of how audio description allows people who are blind or have low vision to enjoy on-screen content.
