Independence Technology
Practical technology.
Greater independence.
We help older Australians and people with disability discover and confidently use technology that can make everyday life easier, safer and more independent.
Start with the challenge
A problem-solving centre—not a technology shop
You don’t need to know the name of a product or device. Begin with an everyday challenge, goal or frustration. LinxCare explores available and emerging technologies, considers how they may apply to your situation and helps turn useful ideas into practical possibilities.

Independence Solutions
Real challenges. Practical possibilities.
We explore real-life independence challenges, investigate suitable technologies and share what we learn. A useful idea may come from assistive technology, a smart-home product, AI or an ordinary everyday device used in a new way.

Growing the Independence Solutions model
Building a centre for independence problem-solving
LinxCare is progressively building a place where older Australians, people with disability, families, professionals and technology partners can bring real-life challenges, explore possibilities and learn from practical solutions.
It may eventually include opportunities to see, try and compare selected technologies—but its purpose will always be solving problems, not displaying products.
