Core offering

Astec Equipment Services distributes and services a broad range of mobility and assistive equipment — including manual and power wheelchairs, scooters, healthcare beds, lift chairs, ceiling hoists, vehicle modifications, pressure care seating, slings, and daily living aids — sourced from leading manufacturers. The company operates a full-service workshop providing repairs, scheduled maintenance, sling safety checks, and custom fabrication including engineering-certified vehicle modifications, alongside short- and long-term equipment hire.

Product overview

Astec Equipment Services is a mobility and assistive equipment provider offering a comprehensive portfolio of physical products rather than a unified software platform. The core offering spans manual and power wheelchairs (OttoBock, Magic Mobility, TiLite, Permobil, Shoprider brands), healthcare beds (Deutscher Healthcare), lift chairs, scooters, and mobility aids. The company provides specialized sub-categories including vehicle modifications with hand controls, wheelchair hoists, and restraints; ceiling and portable hoists with slings; pressure care seating and cushions; patient monitoring systems; and custom mobility solutions. Products are sold alongside repair, servicing, and hire services, primarily serving NDIS participants and DVA cardholders in regional Victoria.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Sunrise Medical: Global manufacturer of wheelchairs, power chairs and seating (owns Jay, Quickie, Magic Mobility brands carried by Astec). Comparable in product category and in competing for the same complex rehab funding pool under NDIS.
• Permobil: Global manufacturer of power wheelchairs and seating (including the M1 IsoLeft sold by Astec). Comparable because it both manufactures and operates regional distributor/service networks, competing for NDIS-funded complex rehab chair business.
• Ottobock: Global manufacturer of manual wheelchairs, prosthetics and rehabilitation technology. Comparable as one of the principal OEMs whose products Astec distributes; also a potential direct competitor if it expands its own Australian service network.
• Aidacare: One of Australia's largest distributors of mobility, aged-care and rehabilitation equipment, supplying many of the same global brands (Invacare, ROHO, Spex, Molift). Comparable because it sells, hires and services NDIS-funded home health equipment across multiple states, but operates at national scale with a much broader product portfolio.
• Invacare: Global manufacturer of wheelchairs, scooters, beds and pressure care products (carried by Astec). Comparable as both an OEM supplier and a competitor in tenders for home health equipment in Australia and globally.

Direct peers

• Rehab & Mobility Equipment (RME): Australian provider of mobility aids, daily living equipment and rehabilitation products to NDIS participants, aged-care clients and DVA cardholders. Directly comparable product mix, customer base and funding-channel exposure.
• Independent Living Specialists (ILS): Australian NDIS-registered mobility and assistive equipment retailer with physical showrooms, online store, hire, repairs and custom solutions. Highly comparable business model and customer mix, though larger footprint and stronger e-commerce presence than Astec.
• Deutscher Healthcare: Australian manufacturer of healthcare beds based in Ballarat, Victoria, that Astec distributes. Comparable because it is a domestic manufacturer/distributor in the same mobility/home-care category with NDIS/DVA exposure.
• Mobility Matters Australia: Australian specialist in wheelchairs, scooters, lift chairs and daily living aids with NDIS provider status. Directly comparable product mix and NDIS/DVA go-to-market approach, though its geographic focus differs.

Emerging players

• Magic Mobility: Australian manufacturer of high-performance power wheelchairs (e.g. Extreme X8 4WD) supplied by Astec. Comparable because it competes in the same complex rehab power-chair niche and operates through a similar regional dealer/service model.
