What are Aspire daily living aids and who are they designed for?
What are Aspire daily living aids and who are they designed for?
Aspire's daily living aids are practical tools designed to make everyday tasks easier and safer at home, without having to rely on others for help.
Think reachers and grabbers, overchair tables, swivel cushions, bed poles, and overbed tables.
They're designed for older Australians, people living with a disability or chronic condition, anyone recovering from surgery or injury, and carers setting up a safer home environment.
Basically, if there's a task that's become harder than it used to be, there's a good chance there's an Aspire product that makes it easier.
Do I need a referral or prescription to buy Aspire daily living aids?
Do I need a referral or prescription to buy Aspire daily living aids?
No, you don't need a referral or prescription to purchase most daily living aids. You can browse and buy directly through our website.
That said, if you're purchasing through the NDIS or a Home Care Package, your occupational therapist may need to recommend or approve specific items depending on your plan and funding category.
If you're not sure, your support coordinator can help you work out what's needed.
Can I use my NDIS or Home Care Package funding to buy Aspire living aids?
Can I use my NDIS or Home Care Package funding to buy Aspire living aids?
In many cases, yes. Daily living aids are generally considered assistive technology under the NDIS, and many items can also be funded through a Home Care Package via My Aged Care.
Whether a specific product is covered depends on your individual plan and goals, so it's worth checking with your plan manager, support coordinator, or occupational therapist before purchasing.
We've set up NDIS checkout on our site to make things as smooth as possible for funded participants.
Are Aspire daily living aids suitable for people with arthritis or limited grip strength?
Are Aspire daily living aids suitable for people with arthritis or limited grip strength?
Absolutely. Many Aspire daily living aids are specifically designed with limited hand strength and dexterity in mind.
Products like reachers, swivel cushions, and overbed tables reduce the need for bending, straining, or gripping tightly.
If you're managing arthritis or another condition that affects your hands or joints, it's worth having a look through the range with that lens.
An occupational therapist can also point you toward the most appropriate products for your specific situation.
Can Aspire daily living aids be used in aged care facilities as well as at home?
Can Aspire daily living aids be used in aged care facilities as well as at home?
Yes. Aspire products are widely used across both home care and residential aged care settings.
They're built to a clinical standard that aged care providers trust, but they're also designed to feel at home in a regular house.
Whether you're an individual buying for yourself, a family member setting up a loved one's home, or an aged care provider restocking equipment, the range is suited to all of those environments.
