Pressure Care — NDIS-Funded Cushions, Mattresses & Overlays, Delivered Australia-Wide
Pressure injuries are one of the most preventable complications for people with limited mobility — and the right pressure care equipment makes a significant clinical difference. At Connect Mobility, our pharmacist-led team supplies clinical-grade pressure care cushions, mattresses, overlays, and positioning aids suitable for wheelchair users, bed-bound clients, and anyone at risk of skin breakdown. We deliver Australia-wide, with free in-home trials available across our local service area.
Pressure care products are funded under NDIS Assistive Technology (Support Category 05) and Consumables (Support Category 03) depending on the item type and your NDIS plan. Our team prepares NDIS-compliant quotes and liaises with your OT and plan manager directly, for participants across Australia.

Choosing the Right Pressure Care Solution — Clinical Guide
Pressure Cushions for Wheelchairs: Essential for any wheelchair user spending more than 2 hours per day seated. Foam cushions suit low-to-medium risk users. Gel and air-cell cushions provide greater pressure redistribution for higher-risk clients.
Foam Mattress Overlays: Placed on top of an existing mattress to redistribute pressure for lower-to-medium risk clients. More cost-effective than a full replacement mattress and easier to implement at home.
Alternating Pressure Mattresses: Motorised systems that continuously cycle pressure points by inflating and deflating air cells. Recommended for high-risk clients or those with existing pressure injuries. Require an OT assessment for NDIS funding.
Positioning Aids & Wedges: Foam wedges and positioning rolls reduce shear and friction forces for clients who spend extended time in bed. Used alongside other pressure care products.
Heel Protection: Heel protectors and offloading boots distribute weight away from the heel. Often used post-surgery or for clients with neuropathy.
Frequently Asked Questions — Pressure Care & NDIS
Is pressure care equipment funded by NDIS?
Yes. Pressure care cushions and mattresses are funded under NDIS Assistive Technology (Support Category 05). Consumable pressure care items may be funded under Consumables (Support Category 03). Connect Mobility advises on the correct category for participants across Australia.
Do I need an OT to prescribe a pressure care mattress?
For higher-cost alternating pressure mattresses, an OT assessment is typically required. For foam overlays and lower-cost cushions, an OT report may not be required. Our team can advise based on the specific product and your NDIS plan type.
How do I know what level of pressure care my client needs?
The Braden Scale is the standard clinical tool used by nurses and OTs to classify pressure injury risk. A score below 18 indicates elevated risk. Our pharmacist can discuss the clinical picture with your OT and recommend appropriate products.
Can I get a same-day quote for pressure care equipment?
Yes. We provide NDIS-compliant quotes within 2 hours for participants anywhere in Australia, addressed to your plan manager or support coordinator and priced within the current NDIS Price Guide.
