This award recognises Anula's dedication to inclusion, diversity, and empowerment through sports - what a wonderful fit for Kids+!

Kids+ announces the launch of Kids+ Tek, a unique, technology-focused platform that provides resources and tools for people with disabilities, particularly AAC* users.

Kids+ Tek is a desktop-based online forum where people with disabilities can discuss and share information on the best tech devices and software. Users share their setup** with others, providing insight and reviews into what equipment and devices they recommend, and read the latest tech news. There is also a forum where people can connect, knowing they are not alone on their journey.

Changemakers challenge perceptions, open minds, and create positive social change for our communities, our country, and our world. Kids+ is pleased to invite and welcome you to the 3rd Kids+ Changemakers Conference hosted in Torquay, traditional lands of the Wadawurrung people, 4-5 September 2025.
