Your Guide To Mobility Equipment Hire With Active Mobility

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.

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.
