Funding your wheelchair
Many people fund their wheelchair through the NDIS, aged care (Support at Home), hospital and rehabilitation programs, injury schemes or privately. Most wheelchairs need an assessment and recommendation from a therapist before funding is approved. We work with your therapist and prepare the quote.
NovitaTech is an NDIS registered provider. See funding options or request a quote.
Wheelchair FAQs
Do I need a therapist to buy a wheelchair?
For simple transit and standard wheelchairs, not always. For customised or power wheelchairs, or if you’re using funding, a therapist usually assesses you and recommends the right chair. Our team then supplies and sets it up, working with your therapist.
Can I try a wheelchair first?
Yes. Book a free trial in store or at home.
Can I hire a wheelchair?
Yes. See equipment hire for short and long-term hire.
Do you repair wheelchairs?
Yes. Our technicians repair and service manual and power wheelchairs. See wheelchair repairs.
