Orientation & Mobility Association of Australasia

Orientation and Mobility (O&M) is about knowing where you are so that you can get where you want to go and travel there safely.

O&M Specialists work with people of all ages who are blind or have low vision. We offer training in the use of mobility aids, orientation to the environment, realistic assessment of limitations, vision education and development of sensory awareness.

This website is the primary source of information sharing within the profession in this region. We hope you enjoy and find it useful!
