What the service includes
Everyday adaptive equipment
We assess and prescribe basic aids that support independence in daily tasks — dressing aids, kitchen and bathroom tools, grip aids and other low-cost practical equipment.
Mobility and seating
We assess, trial and prescribe manual and powered wheelchairs, seating and positioning systems, and power assist devices appropriate to the person's functional needs and environment.
Hoist and transfer equipment
We assess transfer needs and prescribe ceiling hoists, mobile hoists, transfer aids and slings to support safe and sustainable care for both the person and their carers.
Equipment trials
For customised or higher-cost equipment, we conduct trials across all relevant environments — home, community and workplace — with outcomes documented before any prescription is finalised.
Clinical rationale
Every recommendation includes documented clinical reasoning — alternatives considered, expected functional benefit, safety considerations and the anticipated impact on support needs.
Training and handover
We ensure the person, their family and any support workers receive thorough training and guidance in the safe and effective use of all prescribed equipment.
- A person whose injury or condition affects their ability to complete daily tasks independently and who may benefit from adaptive equipment
- Someone whose mobility needs have changed and whose current wheelchair or seating system requires review and updating
- A person requiring hoisting or complex transfer equipment to support safe care at home
- An individual transitioning from hospital to home who needs equipment prescribed and in place before discharge
