Introduction to Supported Lying (Sydney)

Join us for a highly interactive session where you’ll get hands-on experience with a wide range of supported lying systems—all set up and ready for trial. This practical event will highlight the key features of each system, allowing you to compare solutions side by side and build confidence in selecting the right equipment for your clients' needs. You’ll learn how supported lying systems improve sleep quality, influence tone and posture throughout the day, and contribute to achieving meaningful NDIS goals, all while exploring evidence-based research, outcome measures, and real-world success stories. 

Morning tea will be provided following the session.

Meet the Presenter: Kate Pain (GTK) 

Kate comes from an occupational therapy background, with two decades of experience in varied settings, specialising in wheelchair seating and positioning. She finds the evolution of power wheelchair alternate drive technology fascinating, and looks forward to exciting innovations becoming more readily available in power wheelchairs.

Kate really enjoys appointments with children who are trying out a wheelchair for the first time. She loves seeing the excitement in their eyes as they move independently for the first time – it’s contagious!

Kate also enjoys working with adults trialling a wheelchair for the first time, who have a lifetime of limiting perceptions about using a wheelchair, who then realise that the right equipment can amplify their abilities and enjoyment of life.
