The Para Mobility range is designed to support Occupational Therapists (OTs) and their core mission to restore, maintain, or create independence in the activities that matter most. For people living with mobility limitations, from spinal injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy to arthritis, injury and ageing.
Discover how OTs across acute, rehab, community, and private practice settings are using Para Mobility products to deliver measurable functional gains.
The flagship product most OTs know and love.
Why OTs utilise it:
- Enables front-seat passenger transfer in almost any vehicle (sedan, SUV, 4WD, van) without structural modification.
- Hinge-mounted, portable (12 kg), and powered from the cigarette lighter — ideal for clients who don’t own a wheelchair-accessible vehicle (WAV) or who travel with family/friends.
- Reduces manual-handling risk for carers and prevents shoulder/back injuries for the client.
- Restores spontaneous outings: medical appointments, coffee with friends, grandkids’ sport — the things that prevent social isolation.
A safe, stable transfer solution for pools and aquatic therapy environments.
Why OTs utilise it:
- Controlled, seated transfers into and out of the water — ideal for clients with limited lower-limb strength, balance challenges or post-surgical rehab needs.
- Electric lifting system enables smooth, dignified movement without strain on carers, significantly reducing manual-handling risk.
- Deck-mounted and secure, offering predictable, repeatable transfers essential for hydrotherapy and confidence building.
- Supports graded therapy — OTs can tailor depth, duration, and session intensity thanks to the stability of a seated entry.
- Restores access to hydrotherapy where steps, ladders or edge transfers are unsafe or impossible.
The go-to aquatic access solution for clients needing overhead, controlled lifting.
Why OTs utilise it:
- Safe overhead lift-and-transfer for clients with significant mobility limitations, including non-ambulant, bariatric, or high-support needs.
- Battery-powered with intuitive handset, ensuring smooth transfers while reducing carer load during therapy sessions or recreational swimming.
- Multiple sling options allow OTs to personalise support levels based on tone, trunk control, or postural needs.
- Compatible with most pool types (in-ground, deck-level, hydrotherapy, spa), making it adaptable across community centres, retirement villages, council facilities, schools and residential pools.
- Expands therapy opportunities — warm-water exercise, stretching, strengthening, and sensory regulation become safely accessible again.
A stable, confidence-building entry option for clients who can weight-bear but need controlled support.
Why OTs utilise it:
- Wide, non-slip steps with handrails provide safe, graded access for clients with balance issues, post-surgery rehab needs, or gradual return-to-water programs.
- Gentle gradient reduces fatigue and fear of falling, allowing clients to progress at their own pace.
- Ideal for hydrotherapy goals such as gait retraining, weight-shift practice, step-ups and graded functional strengthening.
- Reduces carer strain, because clients can enter/exit with less hands-on assistance.
- Perfect for both residential and community settings, supporting consistent therapy carryover.
Reliable, dignified mobility for accessing pools, beaches, hydrotherapy zones and wet-area environments.
Why OTs prescribe it:
- Purpose-built for wet environments — rust-resistant frame, mesh seat, and drainage-friendly design mean safer transfers and less equipment risk.
- Allows clients to stay in seated support from changeroom → pool edge, reducing transfer frequency and carer manual handling.
- Large, low-pressure wheels make movement over pool concourses and ramps smoother and safer.
- Supports a wide range of client needs including neurological, orthopaedic, paediatric, and ageing populations.
- Promotes social participation — swimming lessons, hydrotherapy, and family pool days become achievable again.
