Children grow, and their equipment needs to grow with them. Paediatric equipment covers bathroom and toileting supports, walking aids and gait trainers, recreation such as adaptive trikes, and the seating and mobility products that help a child take part at home, at school and in the community.

When prescribing for a child in Tasmania, consider adjustability and growth range, how the equipment fits into family routines and transport, the support a child needs to take part in play and learning, and the input of parents and carers. Confirm the safe working load, weight and dimensions, and the funding pathway, usually NDIS or private purchase.

Thrive Lifecare supplies paediatric equipment Tasmania-wide, arranges trials at home, school or clinic, quotes for NDIS or private funding, delivers, sets up and services it. Book a trial and we will work with the child, the family and the therapy team.

Common questions

How do you fit equipment that a child will grow out of?

Paediatric equipment is designed to be adjusted and extended as the child grows, and many items come in sizes. We work with the child’s therapist on the script, trial where possible and set the equipment up at handover.

Can we trial paediatric equipment?

Yes. Trials are arranged with the family and the therapist, at home, at school or in a showroom, so everyone can see how the child responds.

Do you deliver and set up?

Yes, Tasmania-wide, with a consultant present at handover for configured items.

How is paediatric equipment funded?

Most paediatric equipment is funded through the NDIS on a therapist’s recommendation. We prepare the quote and supporting information in the NDIS format.
