ATSA Expo - Local Edition - Bendigo

‘Local Edition’, designed to bring assistive technology, connection and conversation closer to the communities we serve.

The first ATSA Expo ‘Local Edition’ will be held in Bendigo, Victoria on Tuesday 20 October 2026, marking an important step in expanding ATSA’s presence beyond metropolitan centres and creating more frequent, relationship-based engagement across regional Australia.

Why a Local Edition?

ATSA’s Independent Living Expos continue to be highly valued, education-rich events. However, we know that regional stakeholders often face barriers to attending large, metro-based expos.

What to Expect

ATSA Expo ‘Local Edition’ – Bendigo will be a one-day, low-infrastructure showcase and networking event, held at the All Seasons Hotel, Bendigo.

Rather than a full seminar program, the focus will be on:

• hands-on product demonstrations
• informal conversations and relationship building
• open networking across the regional AT ecosystem

Who It’s For

The event will welcome a broad mix of regional stakeholders, including:

• allied health professionals and clinicians
• disability, aged care and community service providers
• support coordinators and planners
• end users, families and carers
• local government and community organisations

To further support regional capability building, ATSA is offering scholarship opportunities for allied health professionals who attend the Bendigo event, providing a potential pathway to attend the ATSA Independent Living Expo Melbourne in May 2027 and engage with the broader national AT community.
