The survey is accessible, anonymous, and open until 6 February 2026.

As we celebrate World Braille Day today, we want to give a shout out to one of our amazing Volunteers who has done so much in our Braille team.

Over the past 25 years, Carol Grace has made a huge contribution to our Braille book collection by manually typing in the Braille, word-for-word, to transcribe novels and books.

She also transcribes Braille music for clients and any other special requests. This year alone, Carol has transcribed four novels and five music pieces. This has added up to about 1400 braille pages, spending at least 10 hours per week.

Although we cannot confirm the exact number of pages she has brailled in her work with us, we estimate that the number of pages brailled over the 25 years must be at least 35,000 - an astonishing effort! Plus she does this work remotely.

At our recent Volunteer Thank You events in December, we were able to recognise Carol for her 25 years of service. Thanks for everything that you do Carol.

World Braille Day is annually celebrated on January 4, the birthday of Braille inventor, Louis Braille. The day recognizes the contributions of Louis Braille in helping blind and visually impaired people to read and write.

Braille is a code that uses bumps and indentation on a surface to represent letters, which can be recognized by touch. Louis Braille’s code is arranged in small rectangular blocks called cells with raised dots in a 3 x 2 pattern. Each cell represented a letter, number or punctuation.

At VisAbility in WA, we provide individual and group Braille training. Our Braille classes are run on demand throughout the year by a certified Braille Instructor.

To find out more about this service please visit our website: www.visability.com.au/services/training-workshops/braille-classes/ or contact our team on 1800 847 466.

Today is National Pet Travel Safety Day which raises awareness about the risks pets face during car journeys and other forms of travel.

As part of this awareness, we wanted to share with you some exciting news that Uber has created a new feature for users who are travelling with an assistance animal.

Riders can self-identify as travelling with an assistance animal through the Accessibility setting in the Uber app, which unlocks features designed to enhance their experience, including:

*The option for riders to disclose to the driver that they are traveling with an assistance animal at pickup, so the driver knows how to best support them

*Ongoing monitoring of driver cancellations and proactive support messages from Uber to check in with the rider and offer support if needed

*Access to Uber’s dedicated customer service team via phone, available 24/7

*On-trip reminders to drivers about their legal obligation to accept riders with an assistance animal.

To find out how to set this feature up on the Uber app, visit the blog below :
