About Us

Innovation creates better experiences and achieves better outcomes for our clients, as well as the people we employ, our workforce.

At Scope we think of innovation as simply "change that adds value". And we want those changes to be big, enduring and ones that push boundaries.

We pursue this though our combined commitment to research, innovation, and advocacy, building long term collaborations with partners in the university, TAFE, government, and other sectors.

Find out more, including what staff thought of the experience, in this short video here. Our Design Guide describes our design approach, experience and insights.

Technology: 3D Printing

Our exploration continues, testing 3D printing to create “objects of reference” as communication resources. Printing customized, three-dimensional, plastic communication aids on-demand is a great opportunity for people who have low-vision or prefer tactile as well as visual communication aids. Scope seeks to further understand the practical and therapeutic use of these core words and objects of reference for our customers.
