iLA acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands, skies, and waters throughout Australia and the Torres Strait where we live and work. We specifically acknowledge the Whadjuk Noongar people as the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which our head office sits, in Boorloo (Perth), Noongar Boodja (Western Australia).

We pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities across Australia, and their Elders past and present.

We are committed to walking together to develop culturally safe information and initiatives that enable people to make informed choices and connections, and support strong, self-determining communities.

Meet Hilary

Hi, I’m Hilary. I’m an occupational therapist with over 40 years of expertise in helping people age well. I am passionate about empowering older people to stay independent and at home for longer.

Born in the UK, I have worked as a clinician, manager, and project leader in the disability and aged care sectors.

I have worked alongside researchers to develop and deliver the first reablement service in Australia. I have also worked with WA Health to develop the WA Regional Assessment Services. As part of that, we have embedded reablement strategies for community care organisations.

Meet Tyler

Hi, I’m Tyler. I lead the LiveUp Navigation team. I am based in WA but grew up on the sunny Gold Coast.

I started my career wanting to be a strength and conditioning coach before moving into the more rewarding aged care sector. I have spent the last few years working as an Exercise Physiologist. I provide mobile rehabilitation, exercise interventions, and running group exercise classes for older people living in Australia. 

I’ve seen assistive products make tasks possible and easier. If we can remove the stigma from assistive products, more people will consider using them. That means more people will experience increased independence and live fuller lives.
