    How much do you know about the cost of a wheelchair?

    Depending on your needs, Dan, Heidz and Rob from SCIA’s Peer and Family Support Team explain the cost of their own wheelchairs and why there is a lot of anxiety when it comes to travelling with a wheelchair.

    Educating people on the cost of equipment for a person with a disability is important, because in this case, wheelchairs are specifically designed to fit the individual and their needs – one size doesn’t fit all. For most people, mobility equipment, such as a wheelchair, is used every day. So, the cost of a standalone wheelchair doesn’t include repairs, servicing and replacements.

    Our Peer and Family Support Team support people with spinal cord injury, and their families, in the spinal units and in the community.
