A bit about us
2014 The beginning, the falls, the injuries
As I watched my grandparents age quickly over recent years they began to struggle to move around their house. They refused to have grab rails installed because of the stigma attached with the stale hospital looking rails. My grandpa had a minor stroke during this time and could no longer hold his balance and was moved into aged care. It was a gloomy time and I didn't know how I could really help. Inspired by two nurses, my late partner Breanna and my Nan, I went searching.
2016 Getting started
Providing the helping hand, with dignity
While working as a Product Design Engineer I was approached by an Occupational Therapist friend who spoke of the requests from her clients for more attractive home care products. From there in my parents unused dairy shed Avail began with the redesign of the grab rail to modernize their style, ergonomics an installation. We collaborated with a range of healthcare professionals, builders and one of Australia’s leading universities to ensure we would provide world class accessible products and solutions.
