Assistive Technology That Fits You Perfectly

At Astris PME, we believe no two people are the same - and neither are their assistive technology needs. MadeforMeis our commitment to delivering Mobility and Positioning Assistive Technology solutions that fit the individual, not just their body, but their life. For Ava, movement is about more than getting from one place to another - it’s about staying connected to the people and moments she loves most. Whether she’s spending time with family, exploring outdoors or enjoying everyday adventures, the right wheelchair helps her move through her world with greater comfort, confidence and participation.

Because great assistive technology isn’t just about mobility. It’s about opportunity, discovery and helping every child reach their potential.

Let’s get to know you and get it right.

WELCOME TO

Hi Brisbane!

We’re thrilled to return to beautiful Brisbane for the eighth time. After the tremendous success of last year’s expo, it’s a pleasure to welcome you back for another fantastic event.This year, we’re bringing together 100+ product and service providers, giving families, caregivers and professionals the chance to explore, experience and trial innovative solutions all in one place.

Our expo comes with interactive hubs, including Active Hub, Hush Hub, StyleMe Hub, Street Play Hub, Build Hub and introducing our NEW ‘Hit Hub’ with some Pickle Ball fun and of course, there’s our Stage hosting awesome entertainment from All Abilities Cricket Program, Sensory + emotional regulation by Music Beat Therapy Services, Dance and Dream Big with All Abilities Australia, plus learn some self defence skills and much more – just enough fun without going over the top!

A huge shoutout to the incredible Source team for bringing this event to life, and a heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, exhibitors, volunteers and performers, your support truly makes this inclusive event possible.

So, Brisbane, get ready for a weekend of discovering, trying, connecting and soaking up a whole lot of inspiration. The Source Disability Expo is all about keeping it fun, welcoming and energising - just like catching up with friends on a great weekend.

More flexibility, less hassle – and it doesn’t cost you anything extra!

You don’t have to choose between self-managing or plan-managing your child’s NDIS Plan. You can do both! It just depends on how hands-on you want to be with managing each aspect of their plan.

You might choose to self-manage Core supports so you can arrange your child’s daily supports directly, while plan-managing Capacity Building budgets to have therapy invoices paid and tracked for you.

With Leap in! plan management, everything stays connected in the Leap in! app, where you can view claims, payments and budgets in real time – without the burden of chasing invoices or juggling paperwork.

More flexibility, less hassle – and it doesn’t cost you anything extra! Call 1300 05 78 78 or email crew@leapin.com.au to find out more about your options.
