Another world record in the bag 🥇

A huge congratulations to VisAbility client and staff member, Kane Perris, on yet another phenomenal achievement - setting a brand new WORLD RECORD in the Tandem Team Sprint at the 2026 Oceania Track Championships!

Competing alongside his pilot, Luke Zaccaria, and teammates Jess Gallagher and Jacqui Mengler Mohr, the group delivered a coordinated and commanding performance on the track in Cambridge, New Zealand.

We’re incredibly proud to see Kane’s hard work and dedication recognised on the international stage once again. A true inspiration to our community here in WA. 👏

It’s Low Vision Awareness Month, and this February, we’re paying closer attention to the things many of us once overlooked.

We asked our staff to share their personal insights, the everyday things they never noticed before working at VisAbility….

“Before working at VisAbility, I never noticed how much meaning comes from facial expressions in a conversation.”

A raised eyebrow. A quick smile. A “are you serious?” look. So much of what we say lives between the words.

It’s a good reminder for us to be more intentional when communicating with someone with low or no vision. Try to say the reaction out loud, to check in, and to make space for clarity - not assumptions.

Practice communication that includes everyone.

Low Vision Awareness Month isn’t just about sight - it’s about attention.

We asked our staff to share their personal insights, the subtle everyday moments they didn’t realise mattered until they began working alongside people with low or no vision. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing these reflections…

“Before working at VisAbility, I never noticed that conversations and meetings are hard to follow if you can’t see who’s talking.”

When voices overlap or speakers change without introduction, it can be difficult and disorienting for someone who relies on sound alone to track a discussion. Simple habits like saying your name before you speak, describing who you’re responding to, or taking turns more intentionally can create a more inclusive environment for everyone.

What’s something you never noticed before learning about low vision?

It’s officially Low Vision Awareness Month – a timely reminder that vision loss doesn’t look the same for everyone, and neither does the support people need.

At VisAbility, we work alongside Western Australians every day to build confidence, independence, and connection through our personalised services. From Orientation and Mobility training to Library and Braille Services, vision support is far broader than many people realise.

Did you know…
• 584 white canes were purchased across WA and Tasmania last year, a simple tool that offers thousands of people greater independence in their daily travel.
• Our Accessible Information Services Team produced 1,600 braille pages, ensuring information is accessible to those who read through touch.
• Our audio studio recorded 47 new audiobooks, expanding access to stories and learning.
• And with 26,058 book titles available through our accessible library, people with low or no vision have more choice than ever in how they read.

Let’s use this month to learn, notice, and understand more. Throughout February, we’ll be sharing more about the lived experience of low or no vision and the subtle barriers many people face every day – watch this space…

Intopia invites you to take part in the Assistive Technology Survey 2025, a survey exploring how people across Australia and New Zealand use and experience assistive technology.

Your input will help:
• Identify barriers to access and inclusion
• Inform policy and funding decisions
• Shape the design of future assistive technologies

Whether you use assistive technology yourself, or support someone who does, your voice matters. The survey is accessible, confidential and we estimate it to take around 15 to 25 minutes to complete.

The survey closing date has been extended to Friday 6 March 2023, so there’s still time! Every response helps ensure the findings reflect a broad range of assistive technology or adaptive strategies.

Take part in the survey today: https://surveys.intopia.digital/assistive-technology-survey/

In collaboration with Intopia, we thank you for helping us build a more inclusive world.
