Key Features for Carer Support

Specialised Designs for Australian Care Standards
In Australia, patient safety is paramount. Our specialised belts are designed to meet the rigorous demands of occupational therapists and professional physiotherapists. Whether you are assisting a senior from a wheelchair to a bed or providing stability during gait training, these tools reduce the risk of back injury for the carer while boosting the confidence of the user.
Choosing the Right Size
Selecting the correct fit is crucial for both comfort and safety. Most of our adjustable belts cater to a wide range of waist sizes, but we also offer bariatric options to ensure every Australian family has access to the support they need. A snug fit ensures the belt won't slide up during a lift, protecting the ribs and underarms.
