ILA is a for-purpose organisation with a vision for a community where everyone is able to make genuine and informed decisions on how to live independently. Our purpose is to provide nationally competitive and individualised supports, knowledge, and tools that enable and enhance living well in the community through delivery of a range of assessment, navigation, and community and sector capacity building initiatives.

ILA’s Ageing Well initiative provides older people with early access to strategies and low risk assistive technology to assist them to stay healthier for longer. This supports them to remain living at home for longer and prevent premature access to aged care services and supports. ILA has developed a digital suite of solutions including a website and screening tool app as key aspects of the initiative. The National Engagement Lead is responsible for co-developing and implementing a strategy that aims to drive awareness, take up and ongoing use of the digital suite through grass roots community activities across Australia.
