ATSA Independent Living Expo Brisbane

The ATSA Independent Living Expo in Brisbane is a specialist trade and experiential exhibition dedicated to assistive technologies. Its core focus is on enhancing the quality of life and independence of people with disabilities, older adults, and those who support them.

In Brisbane, the event is held at the centrally located Royal International Convention Centre. This modern, fully accessible venue is designed to accommodate visitors with a wide range of mobility needs. The expo is organised by Interpoint Events in partnership with Assistive Technology Suppliers Australia, with Interpoint Events widely recognised for delivering targeted trade exhibitions in the health and social care sectors.

The exhibition centres on practical, real-world solutions across rehabilitation, care provision, mobility and accessible living. Exhibits include state-of-the-art wheelchairs and mobility scooters, bespoke vehicle adaptations, communication aids, ergonomic care equipment, pressure care systems, and digital assistive technologies that support independent living. The offering is complemented by services such as accessible tourism, therapeutic programmes and innovative employment models for people with disabilities.

A key strength of the expo lies in its hands-on approach: visitors can not only view products but also try them out and engage directly with manufacturers and professionals. Expert talks, interactive workshops and information forums further support knowledge exchange, making the event a key platform for innovation and networking.

Exhibitors represent a broad spectrum of sectors, including medical technology, rehabilitation engineering, the care industry, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, vehicle engineering and accessible tourism. The audience is equally diverse, comprising people with disabilities and their families, care professionals, therapists, medical practitioners, and decision-makers from healthcare systems and local authorities, all seeking insight into the latest developments.

As part of a nationwide event series with stops in cities such as Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide, the ATSA Independent Living Expo plays a significant role across Australia, highlighting the country’s commitment to inclusion and technological support in everyday life. In Brisbane, the event also benefits from the region’s dynamic growth as an emerging economic and cultural hub, providing an ideal setting for an exhibition of national relevance.

Finally, the venue stands out not only for its accessible infrastructure but also for its excellent connectivity. Located adjacent to the Brisbane Showgrounds, the Royal International Convention Centre is well served by public transport and offers ample parking—ideal conditions for an event that not only promotes accessibility but fully delivers on it.

The ATSA Independent Living Expo in Brisbane took place from Wednesday, 20. May to Thursday, 21. May 2026.
