Accessibility can show up in places you might not expect 👟

was created after founder Billy Price sustained a spinal cord injury and recognised the need for shoes that were easier to put on and take off independently.

Their innovative zipper design allows the shoe to open wide, making them a practical option for people who wear orthotics, use braces, experience limited mobility or have dexterity challenges.

It’s a great reminder that accessibility isn’t always about major infrastructure or policy changes. Sometimes it’s the everyday products we use that can make the biggest difference to independence, confidence and quality of life.

We love highlighting businesses and innovations that are helping make the world more accessible, inclusive and empowering for people with disability.

Behind every support worker at TomCare is a unique story, skill set and life experience.

Our team includes people studying nursing, psychology, teaching and occupational therapy. 

Some are completing Masters degrees, some volunteer in their communities, and some bring lived experience of disability themselves.

Many also have experience supporting people with complex needs, including PEG feeding, communication devices and non-verbal communication.

Different backgrounds. Different experiences. One shared purpose.

To provide thoughtful, compassionate support that helps people live full and enriching lives.

We’re currently growing our team and are always interested in hearing from passionate people who want to make a genuine difference.

Disability education is still missing from so many school conversations and that has a ripple effect far beyond the classroom.

For many people, their understanding of disability comes from assumptions, discomfort or lack of exposure rather than genuine education and inclusion.

The earlier children are taught about accessibility, communication, inclusion and disability, the more natural empathy and understanding become.

Because creating a more inclusive world starts with what we choose to teach 💙

Some disabilities are visible.
Some aren’t.

Not every disability comes with a wheelchair, mobility aid or something you can immediately see.

Many people live with chronic illness, neurological conditions, mental health conditions, autism, hearing loss, fatigue, pain and other disabilities that may not be obvious from the outside.

That’s why kindness, patience and understanding matter so much 💙

You never truly know what somebody may be navigating behind the scenes.

Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day 🌍

Accessibility is about so much more than physical access.

It’s about whether people feel included, considered and able to participate fully in everyday life, online, in public spaces, at events, in workplaces and within their communities.

Because accessibility shouldn’t be treated as an afterthought.

Small changes, better design and more inclusive thinking can make a huge difference for so many people 💙

The best support starts with the right connection 💙

At TomCare, we believe support is about so much more than simply filling a shift.

It’s about finding support workers who genuinely align with the individual, their needs, personality, communication style and the environment around them.

Some people thrive with calm and routine. Others connect best with someone energetic, social and outgoing. Some families require workers experienced in high care support, communication devices, PEG feeding or non-verbal communication.

Because when the fit feels right, support feels more natural, comfortable and meaningful for everyone involved.

That thoughtful, human approach is something we care deeply about at TomCare ✨

In light of Harry Styles announcing another Melbourne show…we thought it was the perfect time to talk about Companion Cards 🎤

We were lucky enough to secure tickets in the first release, and Tom has been very excited ever since.

Tom absolutely loves live music and concerts, and accessible ticketing options like Companion Cards help make experiences like this possible.

For many families navigating disability, attending events often involves much more than simply buying a ticket, from accessible seating to support people and planning ahead.

A Companion Card allows eligible people with disability who require lifelong support to attend participating venues and events with a companion at no extra ticket cost. 

Because everyone deserves access to concerts, live music and experiences like this.
