Regional Living Lab | ForgottenAusTable

Empowering communities through smart technology.

The Regional Living Lab is bringing innovative solutions to improve the quality of life for marginalised groups in the Redlands region. Join us as we co-design a more inclusive and connected future.

This project addresses social isolation, supports marginalized groups, and promotes technology and economic diversification. It will create a collaborative space in Redland City to develop solutions for marginalized communities, including Forgotten Australians, people experiencing or at risk of Homeless, First Nations People, Older People, People with Disabilities, Women, and those individuals experiencing with Mental Health issues. Partnering with local organisations and experts, the project aims to improve health outcomes, drive economic growth, and create jobs, positioning Queensland as a leader in care innovation.
