FAQS
Helpful answers for wheelchair users, families, therapists and their wider support networks.
The right manual wheelchair depends on your mobility needs, physical abilities, posture, daily activities and the environments in which you'll use it. Factors such as wheelchair weight, frame design, seating, transfers and transport requirements are also important.
At Astris PME, our specialist team works alongside you and your prescribing therapist to explore suitable options and arrange trials before making a decision.
Rigid-frame wheelchairs have a fixed frame design and are often lighter and more responsive, making them a popular option for active self-propelling users.
Folding wheelchairs are designed to fold for storage and transport, offering practical flexibility for users, families and carers.
The best option depends on your individual mobility needs, daily routines and transport requirements.
Tilt-in-space wheelchairs allow the seated person to be tilted backwards while maintaining the seat-to-backrest angle.
This can assist with postural positioning, pressure management and comfort for people who require additional seating support.
These wheelchairs are generally prescribed in consultation with an occupational therapist or physiotherapist to ensure the configuration is appropriate for the individual's needs.
Yes. Many manual wheelchairs can be configured to suit individual requirements, including seat dimensions, frame design, backrest support, cushions, wheel positioning, footrests and accessories.
Astris PME specialises in scripted and complex rehabilitation solutions, working closely with prescribing therapists to create equipment configurations tailored to individual needs and goals.
Yes. Astris PME offers free manual wheelchair trials to help users and prescribing therapists assess comfort, fit, function and suitability before proceeding.
Trials can be arranged at our showrooms or in other appropriate environments, depending on your location and equipment availability.
For scripted and complex rehabilitation wheelchairs, a registered prescribing therapist should be involved in the assessment, trial and prescription process.
Their clinical expertise helps ensure the wheelchair supports your individual posture, mobility, functional needs and long-term goals.
If you're unsure where to begin, our team can discuss the trial process and what may be required.
Manual wheelchairs may be eligible for NDIS funding where they meet the participant's individual needs and applicable funding requirements.

If you do not qualify for funding, we recommend you check if you may be eligible for the Wishes for Wheels program through APEX Mobility.
Yes. Our paediatric manual wheelchair range includes options designed to support children's mobility, positioning, participation and changing needs as they grow.
We work alongside families and prescribing therapists to identify suitable options for home, school and community environments.

Compatibility depends on the wheelchair model, configuration, user needs and the type of power-assist device. Our team can help you explore suitable options.
Yes. Our experienced service team can assist with manual wheelchair maintenance, adjustments and repairs to help keep equipment safe and reliable.
