The showroom has everything on display from walking sticks to power wheel chairs, Lift Chairs to light weight rollators and even beds that have all the functions of a hospital bed, without looking like one.<\/p>\n<p>ILS can assist customers and their carers, with managing decreased&nbsp; physical health in relation to their participation in everyday tasks in the bathroom, bedroom, kitchen and the community.<\/p>\n<p>ILS stock a range of lift chairs and height adjustable chairs to help customers stand from a seated position, as well as a range of portable oxygen concentrators to assist customers who require this product to live more independently.<\/p>\n<p>This is only a small sample of the types of products and services they can provide. ILS are proud authorised providers for NDIS, DVA, Worksafe, HPV and SWEP.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions or would like more information, visit our team and our Occupational Therapist, Anja, at the store at 10 Sturt Street, Ballarat, or you can call 03 9132 6105.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Independent Living Specialists can help you with all your mobility needs.
