Equipment Prescription - Your Toolkit for Independence!

Access Greater Freedom & Comfort with the Right Equipment!

Sometimes, a little bit of well-chosen equipment can make a BIG difference in your daily life. At Happy Steps, we’re here to help you navigate the world of assistive devices and find the perfect tools to support your independence, comfort, and well-being. Think of us as your friendly equipment experts, guiding you towards solutions that truly fit you.

Our caring and knowledgeable therapists will work closely with you to understand your specific needs and goals. We take the time to assess your situation and recommend equipment that will empower you to participate more fully in the activities you love. We’re all about finding the right “ingredients” to create your personal toolkit for greater freedom and ease! 

We recommend an initial assessment which will take approximately 40-60 minutes to assess your needs and a follow up session between 20-60 minutes face to face for a trial (at home or in-store), and depending on complexity an additional 1-4 hours for report writing as required for NDIS or HCP funded items.
