The Right Assistive Technology, When You Need It

We understand that everyone’s journey is unique. That’s why our rental service is designed to support you in different ways:

• Adapt as you grow – swap equipment as your needs change, so you’re never stuck with something that no longer works for you.

• Try before you buy – test equipment in your own home or community to be sure it’s the right fit before making a bigger commitment.

• Bridge the waiting gap – stay supported with the right equipment while waiting for new or funded items to arrive.

• Choose sustainability – our refurbished equipment helps reduce waste, making it better for you and the environment.

With flexible rental periods, you’ll always have the right support at the right time.

We’ve organised our library items into 3 categories, based on who is best placed to hand over the Assistive Technology. This approach ensures people can access and use the equipment safely and with confidence.

Category A: Low Risk – Therapy Assistant and/or Rental Officer Handover

• “Off the shelf” or items requiring minimal adjustment
• Simple orientation and handover

Category B: Medium Risk – Therapist Handover or Product Specialist

• The therapist must be confident and familiar with the equipment

Category C: High Risk / Specialist Therapist and/or Clinician Handover

• Highly specialized Assistive Technology where there is a risk of injury or reduced performance if the equipment is not set-up and handed over with the correct adjustments, guidance and monitoring.
• An Access Tech Clinician or Therapist should be involved

Once you’ve found what you’re looking for, discuss your selection with your OT or Physio. They’ll ensure the options are right for you. Items designed to support complex needs such as power wheelchairs or tilt-in-space commodes, often require detailed measurements to ensure they are safe and comfortable to use, as such we suggested your OT or Physio completes the reservation form.

• Less stress: we take the hassle out of sourcing Assistive Technology by giving you a simple, reliable way to get what you need quickly.

• More choice: our wide range of refurbished, high-quality equipment means you can find the right solution for your situation.

• Confidence and safety: every item is serviced and quality-checked by experts, so you can rely on it from day one.

• Suitable to you: work with either your own clinician or one of ours to ensure the equipment is adjusted for a perfect fit and safe for use.

• Ongoing support and adjustments:  Throughout the rental period, we offer ongoing support and are available to make adjustments if your needs change. Our team remains committed to ensuring your AT continues to meet your expectations.

• Flexibility: If your needs change, or you outgrow the equipment during the rental period, we can review our fleet of equipment to see if there is something more suitable.

“Living in a rural location and requiring specialist equipment for Rory has been a challenge. As Rory grows, having the ability to hire equipment, have it fitted for his specific needs, and delivered to our home has been wonderful.

There is peace of mind knowing that Rory doesn’t have to squish into ill-fitting equipment causing pressure areas and discomfort while we wait for funding approval to purchase new equipment. It’s nice to know there is a suitable option for Rory now.

The team has been responsive and helpful, ensuring all hired equipment meets Rory’s needs. They have been very accommodating with seeing us at short notice when we do travel to Adelaide. We are so happy with the quality of the equipment and the support we are receiving through this program.”
