YOU
We are expanding our small group of talented game developers who are
interested in using their skills to make a significant difference. Guided
by industry professionals it’s time to use our skills for more than just
fun, it’s time to change the world.


THE CHALLENGE
In the recent World Report on Disability, it is estimated that 1 in 5
people globally are considered as having a disability. In Australia it’s
calculated as 3.96 Million Australians (ABS 2003) who still face negative
attitudes and inadequate customer service from front line staff (from all
industries) because they do not know how to engage with us. This challenge
must be properly addressed because it leads to social isolation and
exclusion. The underlying cause of this issue is due to current ineffective
and unengaging methods to educate and train about disability awareness.
Notably existing boring and unempowering online training service, which are
glorified powerpoint presentations.


THE SOLUTION
The key to addressing the challenge is the education of our community. Led
by people with first-hand experience of disability we are developing a
digital gaming experience that is already proven to engage users while
educating them on real challenges in the community. We are starting with
the most important group - disability service providers and their front
line staff who have direct contact with people who have disability. But our
vision is broad and ultimately we plan on bringing this engaging experience
to the larger community.


Our experience of delivering in person disability awareness training has
proven successful, now, by using game design and simulation on smart mobile
devices and virtual reality technology, that success will be magnified and
reach thousands more.


THE OPPORTUNITY OF NOW

The timing for this initiative is now. The momentum of the National
Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) rollout is past midway. Once completed
in 2020 there will be an annual $22 Billion market increasing demand for
well-trained service delivery professionals. NDIS position statement of the
market reports that there are currently 225,300 support workers and 8000
disability service providers in across Australia. It is projected that this
number will grow over 500,000 support workers by 2020.


WHO WE ARE
Enabler Pty Ltd
Social enterprise Enabler is led by ACT Young Australian of the Year Huy
Nguyen. We’re gathering talented game developers to address the global
challenges faced by people with disability. We’re aiming to revolutionise
ineffective and unengaging training methods by harnessing the power of game
design, scalable mobile platforms and emerging technologies such as virtual
reality technology.
