🚗 Driving Important Conversations Forward

Yesterday, we were delighted to welcome our local federal MP Gregg - Labor for Deakin and Richard Farr - Labor for Croydon to our office.

After spending time chatting with our team, Matt and Richard joined senior instructors Gabriel and Christian to learn about and experience driving with some of the many specialised vehicle modifications we have available across our fleet! 🚗

We then had a valuable conversation about the NDIS: the positive outcomes it creates, the challenges faced by participants and providers, and how we can continue working to improve a system that delivers meaningful, lasting outcomes in the best possible way.

A sincere thank you to Matt and Richard for their generous time, genuine interest and willingness to listen and engage with our team. We greatly appreciated the opportunity to share what we do and the outcomes we work so hard to achieve.

Thank you for visiting us! 👏

🔧 Modification Monday: Over Ring Accelerator (O-Ring) 🚗

The Over Ring Accelerator, AKA the O-Ring, allows drivers to accelerate while keeping both hands on the steering wheel.

By applying gentle, consistent pressure to the O-Ring, drivers can achieve smooth, natural acceleration with excellent control, making precise driving manoeuvres easier and more comfortable. The O-Ring is fitted to the vehicle's original steering wheel without interfering with the airbag and is typically paired with a hand-operated brake lever.

Suitable for (not limited to):
• Lower limb amputation
• Spinal cord injuries
• Paraplegia
• Neurological conditions affecting lower limb function
• Other conditions that prevent the safe use of foot pedals

The O-Ring is just one of the many specialised vehicle modifications available throughout our fleet, helping drivers achieve greater confidence, independence, and control on the road.

Our experienced instructors are here to help you find the right vehicle setup and support you every step of your driving journey. 🚗
