DISABILITY SA
As announced on 8th July, JCT began working on a smart hub technology project for delivery to Disability SA. Further to this, JCT has recently formed a committee with representatives from Disability SA Management, Flinders University and Renewal SA to meet regularly to discuss progress. To assist the delivery, JCT has appointed a project manager to oversee the development of the project and liaise with the various committee members.
The JCT team and associated committee members are working to finalise the requirements for the project trial at Lightsview which is a newly developed residential housing estate in the Adelaide CBD. This initial project encompasses providing a suitable technology solution to 13 buildings being a mix of purpose built units and community houses for Disability SA residents.
Following a successful project delivery an opportunity may arise to roll out the newly developed technology solution to 3,500 clients of Disability SA over the next few years.
JCT is also in discussions with Renewal SA regarding their plans to build 100 houses over the next 18 months and looking to incorporate a viable technology solution in their rollout plans.
The Company notes the National Disability Insurance Scheme ("NDIS") starts in 2017 with an annual budget of $22 Billion. JCT is well positioned to be a leader in the NDIS technology rollout given its ability to provide innovative technologies in home automation and support worker solutions.
