{AUS} Wheelchair help!
I'm an ambulatory wheelchair user in QLD Australia whos having an absolute nightmare of a time finding a chair.
I need a chair for daily use, I take public transport and will have to use to road/sidewalk occasionally but mainly indoors or path use. Should hold weight of 90kg, I'm 55kg but ive been told to allow extra weight allowance. Something lightweight that can easily fit in the boot of a car (Impreza Subaru) Ive seen a lot of rigid framed chairs and they look good but im not sure. Id want a manual chair with the option to add an electric aid
Ive had a wheelchair before but unfortunately my old housemate broke it, i use a cane daily but its not longer good enough (it never was)
I am NOT covered by NDIS as im still in the diagnosing process, ive had chronic joint, muscle and nerve pain since I was 11 and using a wheelchair has really really helped me in the past
If anyone has any advice for my id much appreciate it, im getting quite desperate as im losing my independence and being able to leave the house less and less
Here are some chairs ive looked at but i don't know if i can access them as they seem to only be NDIS funded:
