About Us
Going Places Orientation & Mobility provides specialist travel training for people who are blind or have low vision across Melbourne and surrounding areas.
Orientation and Mobility (O&M) is a specialist service that helps people develop the skills needed to understand their environment, move safely, and travel independently. This includes learning how to use environmental information, build spatial awareness, solve travel problems, and use mobility tools such as the long cane.
Our services support people to build confidence and independence in everyday settings, including:
- the home
- school and education settings
- public transport
- shopping centres
- workplaces
- busy streets and community spaces
Every program is tailored to the individual’s needs, goals, age, vision, and lifestyle. We work with children, teenagers, and adults who want to strengthen their independent travel, community access, and mobility skills.
Going Places is committed to providing practical, person-centred Orientation and Mobility training in Melbourne that leads to meaningful real-life outcomes.
