On 12 December 2012, ILCNSW's new display at Blacktown was officially opened. Our invited guests shared the joy of our 2012 achievements of building a new display, where we are able to showcase Assistive Technologies and Home Modifications in context, within an apartment built to the Livable Housing Design Guidelines.
After the official opening, our guests inspected the display apartment with the assistance of staff and enjoyed a networking lunch with associates and suppliers.
