NDIS Mobility Equipment & Wheelchair Prescription Sydney, Gold Coast & Brisbane
Vista Healthcare provides assessments and recommendations for NDIS mobility equipment across Sydney, the Gold Coast, and Brisbane. Our occupational therapists work with participants who require equipment to improve mobility, safety, comfort, and independence at home or in the community.
We support participants through the full process, from assessment and trials through to reporting and funding recommendations.
Types of Mobility Equipment We Prescribe
Our team provides recommendations for a wide range of mobility and assistive equipment based on individual needs and functional goals.
Common equipment types include:
- Manual wheelchairs
- Powered wheelchairs
- Walkers and rollators
- Mobility scooters
- Transfer aids and hoists
- Seating and positioning supports
Assessments consider mobility, posture, home access, transport needs, and day-to-day function. Learn more about our assessment services on the Equipment Prescription page.
When NDIS Funds Mobility Equipment
The NDIS may fund mobility equipment when it is considered reasonable and necessary to support a participant’s goals and functional needs.
Funding may apply where equipment:
- Improves independence and safety
- Reduces falls risk or manual handling concerns
- Supports community participation
- Assists with pressure care or positioning
Participants may require supporting assessments and reports before funding approval. Information about assistive technology funding is available on our Assistive Technology page, and broader NDIS support information can be found on our NDIS page.
Our Assessment and Trial Process
Our occupational therapists complete structured mobility assessments to determine the most suitable equipment for each participant.
The process may include:
- Functional mobility assessment
- Postural and seating assessment
- Home and access review
- Equipment trials with suppliers
- Recommendations based on goals and safety needs
For participants requiring wheelchair assessments, further information is available on our Wheelchairs page.
Working With Suppliers and Repairers
Vista Healthcare works collaboratively with equipment suppliers and repair providers to support the timely delivery and setup of recommended equipment.
This process may include:
