Adelaide Showground

Goyder Pavilion | 10am - 4:30pm

Catalyst Foundation is a charitable, inclusive and independent organisation seeking to improve the lives of all South Australians in the areas of Ageing, Disability, Lifestyle, Employment, Business and Learning.

With more than 23 years’ experience, Catalyst Foundation helps South Australians access their way through ageing, disability, retirement, lifestyle and health issues, by offering services and connecting people to the services they need to live their lives to the fullest.

A not-for-profit organisation, Catalyst Foundation has strong alliances and works with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities, and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex (LGBTI) communities.

Catalyst Foundation is in its third year of hosting the Disability Ageing and Lifestyle Expo.  Over the past two year, the expo was attended by over 7,000 attendees and over 300 exhibitors. The variety of organisations represented included health, wellbeing, travel, mobility equipment, support services, rehabilitation, sporting and many more.

This year the Expo will be held on Friday, 27 October at Adelaide Showground, Goyder Pavilion from 10am to 4:30pm, with an entry fee of a gold coin donation. Held in the Goyder Pavilion, just off Goodwood Road, the Expo is easily accessible for visitors with mobility needs and those using public transport.

The Disability, Ageing and Lifestyle Expo will explore practical ideas, research and initiatives under the ‘My Life, My Choice’ theme. My Life, My Choice, is about empowering individuals and families to ensure that they remain at the centre of decisions related to their needs and what types of services and support planning is available. The expo also continues to focus on improving the physical, social and emotional wellbeing of people living with disabilities, those on the ageing journey and those interested in living an active lifestyle. It’s about encouraging people to welcome and embrace the option of choices and flexibility when making important resolutions about their wellbeing, care and support.

The 2017 Disability, Ageing and Lifestyle Expo will provide sponsors and exhibitors with access to more than 4,000 people who are supported by disability, ageing and lifestyle organisations - including family, friends and carers who rely on accessing quality information to support informed decisions. Accessing quality information can not only be a daunting task, but also an incredibly frustrating one. The Disability, Ageing and Lifestyle Expo bring all this information under one roof.

As an additional benefit we invite all exhibitors and sponsors to an exclusive networking cocktail party on Thursday, 26 October at 5:30pm at Goyder Mezzanine – a terrific pre-event opportunity to create new relationships and build on existing ones.

To top it all off, South Australian Self-Management Alliance will be hosting a Symposium in the Goyder Mezzanine on Friday, 27 October. For more information contact admin@sasma.org.au.

It’s going to be a great day and we look forward to seeing you in October!
