Smart Crutches Pty Ltd

What Smart Crutches Pty Ltd does

Smart Crutches Pty Ltd, trading as SmartCrutches Australia, is an Australian proprietary company headquartered in Moorabbin, Victoria that designs, distributes, and sells the smartCRUTCH™ — a patented modular forearm crutch system. The core technology redistributes body weight across the forearm rather than channeling it through the hands, wrists, and underarms, addressing the pain, nerve impingement, and fatigue commonly associated with conventional axillary and underarm crutches. The product is configured via a 15° to 90° forearm platform adjustment, a 3-point forearm length setting, a 10-position push-pin height adjustment (accommodating users from 4'8" to 6'7"), ergonomic handles offset by 7°, and an hourglass-shaped rubber foot with shock absorption; it is sold in pairs and is latex-free.

The commercial model is a dual-channel hardware business. Direct-to-consumer sales run through the smartcrutches.com.au e-commerce storefront with shipping across Australia and New Zealand; the company also accepts NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) invoicing for eligible participants. A wholesale partner program layers on top, serving 30+ mobility equipment retailers, physiotherapy and occupational therapy clinics, NDIS-registered pharmacies, and rural disability service providers across all Australian states and territories, with partners receiving wholesale pricing, training materials, marketing support, and dropshipping options. Pricing is fixed at $350 per pair for the crutches and $15-$65 for replacement accessories (tips, handles, cotton grip covers, extension legs).

The company holds one granted invention patent on the modular design and was founded in 2021. As of the most recent disclosed state, the smartCRUTCH product is out of stock with the next delivery expected in early 2027 and future stock limited to a black colorway only — a material supply and SKU rationalization signal. No external funding, acquisitions, leadership changes, or AI/digital platform capabilities are disclosed.
