Tonight we pause to honour the remarkable life of Neale Daniher.

Neale’s battle with Motor Neurone Disease was one fought with extraordinary courage, dignity and unwavering determination. In the face of an unforgiving diagnosis, he chose purpose over despair - becoming one of Australia’s most powerful voices in the fight against MND.

Through his advocacy, Neale didn’t just raise awareness, he ignited a movement. From the Big Freeze to tireless campaigning for research funding, his efforts have helped drive hope, progress and crucial investment toward a future free from this devastating disease.

At Sleeptite, we are thinking of Neale’s loved ones, and of every person and family living with MND today. His fight has changed lives and his legacy will carry forward in every breakthrough achieved and every life touched.

Rest In Peace, Neale. Your fight has lit the path for others, and your impact will never be forgotten.

Brisbane up next 🔜

Last week at ATSA Independent Living Expo Sydney, we saw how quickly the room leans in when you challenge one simple idea:

👉 A bed isn’t just furniture — it’s a key part of managing falls risk in the home.

At Sleeptite, we’re focused on helping clinicians think differently about bed prescription — because not everything we’ve traditionally relied on actually reduces risk.

Some of the biggest reactions?

- Trendelenburg positioning
- Bed sticks and support devices

This Thursday, we’re continuing the conversation at ATSA Brisbane.

Cameron van den Dungen will be speaking on:
"Rethinking Bed Prescription"

If you work in OT, physio, or assistive technology — come along and be part of it.

📍 Brisbane: 20–21 May
🎤 Speaking Thursday

⚡ We’re taking it higher.

This morning the team headed to the Discovery to Device lab — and let’s just say, the future of REMi just got a whole lot closer.

We’re partnering with some of Australia’s brightest minds to harness world-class plant, equipment and talent right here in Melbourne.

Faster prototyping. Accelerated design. Local hardware development that doesn’t wait for anyone.

REMi isn’t just coming. It’s being built.

📣 SEMINAR PROGRAM: Cameron van den Dungen - CEO, Sleeptite | ‘Rethinking Bed Prescription: An Evidence-Based Approach for Modern Assistive Technology Practice'

Bed prescription is one of the most misunderstood areas in assistive technology, and new evidence is revealing just how far myth has drifted from reality. In this energising session, we cut through the noise with clear, research backed insights that are already transforming clinical practice nationally. Walk away with sharper judgement, stronger reasoning, and a safer, more effective approach to bedding prescription.
Across Australia, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, and Assistive Technology retailers are encountering an increasing amount of conflicting information when it comes to bed prescription. As a result, many long standing practices are being applied without clear evidence; and in some cases, contrary to what the research actually shows.

This presentation delivers a fresh, data driven perspective on bed prescription, drawing on recent collaborative work with several Australian universities. It brings forward new evidence, challenges common assumptions, and offers a clearer clinical framework for assessing risk, function, and safety in bedding-related assistive technology.

Attendees will explore contemporary research on key areas of bed prescription, understand how certain routinely cited risks have been overstated or misinterpreted, and learn how to differentiate between genuine clinical hazards and outdated or inaccurate guidance. This session equips clinicians and retailers with a more confident, evidence aligned approach that supports better outcomes for clients, caregivers, and service providers.

Participants will leave with actionable strategies that can be applied immediately in their clinical reasoning and prescription processes.

🛏️💥 Lateral Load: The Safety Test Most People Forget to Do

This was an incredible photo‑shoot — and yes, what you see is exactly what happened: real performer, real bed, real attachments, exactly as they’re delivered to clients.

But behind the beauty of the moment is a message that’s deadly serious.
When it comes to assistive technology, bed sticks aren’t just “supports” — they’re load‑bearing safety devices.

And in real‑world use, clients don’t apply force neatly or predictably. They lean, push, twist, grab, slip, and brace.

That’s lateral load — and it’s where the difference between safe and unsafe equipment becomes painfully clear.

At Sleeptite, our R&D team has been obsessing over lateral load for years.

Why? Because lateral load failures are one of the most preventable risks in home and aged‑care environments.

So we put our hardware to the test. Hard.

🔬 Internal testing shows our bed sticks withstand over 100 kg of lateral load.

That’s not a marketing headline — it’s engineering discipline, materials science, and an uncompromising stance on client safety.

And here’s our challenge to OTs, prescribers, and clinicians:

👉 Before recommending any bed stick, give it a lateral load test.

Lean on it. Push it. Try to make it fail.

Because if it can’t hold up in your hands, it won’t hold up for your client.

At the end of the day, the only thing more important than independence… is safety.

Let’s raise the standard — sideways.

A huge thank you to Principal Dancer, from

Your strength, artistry, and precision helped us visually demonstrate what our engineering team already knew — that true performance happens under real load.
