About Mobility Foundation
Making accessible Equipment Possible
Creating Possibilities Through Better Access
We believe the right equipment can do much more than improve accessibility. It can open the door to participation, independence, rehabilitation, connection and experiences that might otherwise be out of reach.
The Mobility Foundation exists to help make accessible equipment possible for individuals and community organisations where funding is a barrier.
We connect genuine accessibility needs with community grants, clubs, funding organisations and supporters who want to make a practical difference.
It’s a simple idea with the potential for an enormous impact:
Find the need. Find the funding. Create better access.
Bridging the gap
Why the Mobility Foundation Exists
Sometimes the solution to an accessibility challenge already exists.
A pool hoist could help someone return to swimming or hydrotherapy. Accessible pool steps could open a community aquatic facility to people who struggle with conventional ladders. An aquatic wheelchair could make getting around a pool environment easier. Transfer equipment could help someone get into a vehicle and back out into their community.
The equipment exists. The need exists.
But the funding doesn’t always exist in the same place.
Government programs and individual funding packages provide essential support, but not every person, organisation, circumstance or piece of equipment fits neatly within available funding pathways.
The Mobility Foundation was established to help bridge that gap.
The Mobility Foundation works to support eligible individuals and organisations with genuine accessibility equipment needs including:
- Individuals and families seeking equipment where existing funding is unavailable or insufficient.
- Aquatic and leisure facilities looking to improve access to swimming, recreation and rehabilitation.
- Schools and education providers wanting to create more inclusive environments.
- Hospitals and rehabilitation services supporting people with changing mobility requirements.
- Local councils and community facilities seeking to improve accessibility for their communities.
- Disability and not-for-profit organisations supporting greater participation and independence.
- Aged care and community care providers looking for practical solutions to changing mobility needs.
