Mobility Scooter Assessments in Barossa

The Barossa is close enough to Adelaide that providers say yes and far enough that they then struggle to show up. We cover it off the same run as Gawler.

Common questions

What is a gopher?

A brand name that has become the general Australian word for a small mobility scooter. We assess all of them.

What if a scooter does not suit me?

We will say so. A powered wheelchair or a change to transport is sometimes the better answer, and it is cheaper to find out first.

Do you travel to the Barossa?

Yes. Barossa is part of our regular service area and assessments are carried out in the home or community rather than at a clinic.

How far around Barossa do you cover?

From here we also see people in Nuriootpa, Tanunda, Angaston, Lyndoch, Williamstown and Greenock. If you are just outside those, send the referral through anyway and we will tell you straight away.

Which funding does this suit?

NDIS participants who are self-managed or plan-managed, older adults through My Aged Care, and private clients.
