Ben is the Emerging Technology and Accessibility Manager at Guide Dogs NSW/ACT. He is responsible for finding, influencing and implementing technologies that benefit people with low vision or blindness into Guide Dog’s services. He is also responsible for ensuring a high standard of accessibility across the organisation, and supporting external accessibility related advocacy and training.

This everyday practical exposure, combined with professional expertise and a slightly obsessive interest, has enabled him to provide unique accessibility consultation that goes beyond official standards.
