When a family member or client needs mobility equipment, the decision between buying and hiring can be a challenge. Purchasing new items isn’t always practical, especially if the need is temporary or urgent. Plus, buying depends heavily on having the required funds or the turnaround time of government-funded supports.
That’s where our mobility equipment hire service comes in. Active Mobility provides an extensive range of mobility equipment for short and long-term use, delivered straight to your doorstep.
If you’re exploring short-term solutions for travel or rehabilitation, hiring can be a simple, cost-effective way to access high-quality equipment — minus the upfront expenses.
Why consider mobility equipment hire?
Hiring disability equipment is often the most practical choice when:
- Recovery or rehabilitation is short-term (for example, after surgery or injury)
- You’re trialling different models before committing to a purchase
- Visitors or patients only need mobility support for a few weeks
- Urgent needs arise, and same-day delivery is required.
At Active Mobility, we’ve made the process of hiring mobility equipment straightforward and stress-free so that you can focus on comfort, independence, and quality of life.
What types of equipment can you hire?
Every situation is unique, so our mobility equipment hire service covers various products to suit different needs. Here are some of the most common items our customers hire.
Wheelchairs & walking aids
“Where can I hire a wheelchair?”
Right here at Active Mobility. We offer both manual and powered wheelchairs for hire. Our range includes lightweight folding wheelchairs for travel, standard chairs for daily use, and more complex models that can be set up by our team. We also offer walking aids, such as rollators and frames, to help people stay steady and independent during recovery. |
Mobility scootersHiring a disability scooter can be ideal if walking longer distances is challenging. Scooters provide freedom for shopping, appointments, or outings without relying on others. Our customers also often choose scooter hire to test different models before buying. |
Lift chairs & seating
A powered lift chair makes getting in and out of seating safer and easier, particularly for people with reduced strength or mobility. Hiring a chair can provide short-term comfort during recovery or while trialling different seating options. |
Beds & pressure care productsFrom adjustable rehabilitation beds to pressure care mattresses, hiring equipment can make home recovery more comfortable and reduce the risk of complications such as pressure injuries. |
Manual handling products
Safe lifting and transfers are essential for support workers and family members. Hiring manual handling equipment, like hoists, can make everyday care tasks safer and less physically demanding. These devices assist with moving people who have limited mobility from bed to chair or into other positions while reducing the risk of injury for both the user and the person providing support. |
Bathroom productsDaily hygiene tasks can be one of the biggest challenges for people with limited mobility. That’s why we offer a range of bathroom products for hire, including bathroom kits, over-toilet aids, and shower commodes. These items are designed to provide comfort, stability, and independence in the bathroom, while also easing the workload of support workers. |
How our hire service works
Active Mobility’s hiring process has been designed with customers in mind, making it as stress-free and straightforward as possible. Here’s what you can expect when arranging mobility equipment hire with us.
Home delivery
You won’t need to worry about picking up heavy or bulky equipment. Our team will bring everything directly to your doorstep across Greater Sydney, Newcastle, and Wollongong. If you live outside these regions, just let us know—we can often arrange delivery to other locations upon request.
Set-up & demonstration
Some products, like high-end power wheelchairs or rehabilitation beds, require professional setup. Our experienced technicians take care of installation for you, ensuring the equipment is assembled correctly and adjusted to suit the user’s needs. We also provide a hands-on demonstration, so you know exactly how to operate the equipment safely.
This gives families and support workers peace of mind, as they know they can use the items confidently from day one.
Urgent needs covered
We understand that mobility needs don’t always come with notice. If an accident or sudden change in health creates an urgent requirement, same-day delivery can be arranged. Our team prioritises these situations so customers aren’t left waiting. Having reliable equipment available quickly can make all the difference during stressful times.
Flexible timeframes
Not everyone needs long-term support. That’s why we keep things flexible, with a minimum hire period of one week. After that, you can extend for as long as required — whether that’s a few extra weeks of recovery at home or several months while trialling equipment. This way, you only hire for the time you need, without unnecessary fees or commitment.
Collection & return
When the hire period ends, we’ll arrange collection at a convenient time for you. There’s no need to worry about returning equipment to our stores. Once returned, every product goes through a professional cleaning and safety check before being rehired, so you can trust that all equipment is hygienic, well-maintained, and ready to use.
Making life easier with the right hire option
Mobility needs can arise suddenly — after surgery, an accident, or simply as part of ageing. Having the option to hire equipment like chairs, scooters, or beds can ease stress for both families and support workers.
If you or someone you support needs mobility assistance, hiring can be a smart, flexible solution. With delivery, set-up, and collection services available, plus an extensive range of products ready to use, Active Mobility simplifies mobility equipment hire.
