Business Writeup by Tanya Outridge

Aidacare has been providing assistive technology to clients across the Sunshine Coast for over 25 years. Originally known as Home Health Care, the business was purchased by Aidacare 12 months ago, the showroom relocated from Nambour Plaza to its current location at 45 Price Street, Nambour.

“The new showroom provides a fantastic location for both clients and therapists to view our extensive range of mobility scooters, lightweight wheelchairs, lift chairs, walking sticks and other disability equipment,” said store manager, Min Simpson.

“We are still centrally located and there is excellent parking available.”

Aidacare provides assistive technology including reaching aids, kitchenware, wheelchairs, walkers, chairs, beds, shower chairs, lift chairs, cushions, garments and pressure relief devices.

“We are one of the nation's largest disability equipment suppliers. Basically, anything our clients need assistance for in the home to make their lives easier, we can provide it,” said Min.

“Our field staff work with therapists to identify and trial mobility equipment for their clients, and we encourage clients to attend our showroom with the relevant therapist or support worker so we can be sure that you get the correct equipment the first time.

“Our friendly and professional drivers and installers ensure that our clients receive the best support when disability equipment or services are delivered, and we coordinate home modification work using reputable sub-contractors to ensure a high quality of workmanship and peace-of-mind for you. We do have a delivery service available for a fee.”
