Equipment Prescription & Home Modifications

Independence comes in many ways. Our experienced Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists are qualified to prescribe equipment and devices and assess your home environment to make sure it is accessible, safe and functional.

We know that sometimes, you need to see, feel and try things before you make a decision, so our therapists arrange for trials of equipment with registered suppliers. These suppliers will bring equipment to you and allow you to try and compare different options. Once a decision has been made, our therapists will obtain competitive quotes from reputable suppliers and complete a detailed report that you can use for submissions to the NDIS, Enable NSW and other agencies. 

Examples of equipment include:  

  • Wheelchairs

  • Walking aids 

  • Over toilet aids

  • Commodes (bath and shower aids) 

  • AAC Devices
