Pressure Care & Wheelchair Seating OT Brisbane
The right wheelchair, cushion or mattress can make a big difference to comfort, posture, skin health and independence. Our occupational therapists assess seating and pressure care needs at home and help you trial and choose the right equipment.
Who this is for
- People who use a wheelchair or spend long periods sitting or in bed
- People at risk of pressure injuries
- People whose current wheelchair or cushion no longer fits or feels comfortable
- Carers who need safer ways to help with positioning
How we help
- Assessment of posture, comfort, skin risk and how you use your chair or bed
- Recommendations and trials of wheelchairs, cushions, mattresses and positioning equipment
- Working with equipment suppliers on trials and set-up
- Reports and quotes to support NDIS, Support at Home or DVA funding
- Education on pressure care, positioning and safe transfers
Equipment that fits your life
We look at where you will use the equipment, at home, in the car and in the community, so the recommendation works in real life, not just in a showroom.
Funding we work with
- NDIS participants who are self-managed or plan-managed (we cannot see NDIA-managed participants)
- Support at Home clients (formerly Home Care Packages), arranged with your provider
- DVA-funded clients
- Private clients
