Mobility Solutions

Public Service

Our Service

Mobility Solutions is a specialised wheelchair and seating assessment service based at Kahui Marino, Pt Chevalier Clinical Centre in Pt Chevalier, Auckland. We cover the greater Auckland region, with clinics on site and in some situations may visit people in their own homes, schools and work places as clinically required.

Mobility Solutions provides a service to people of all ages whose mobility and seating needs are long term, complex, and require individualised solutions.

If you have any questions about whether we are the right service to work with you, please review our Indicators for Wheeled Mobility and Postural Management Level 2 Credential download sheet.

-        Community Occupational Therapists or Physiotherapists, from Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora

-        School Therapists

-        Hospital Therapists

-        Child Development Team Therapists

-        Group Special Education Therapists

-        Therapists who work in other facilities such as rest homes or private hospitals
