Holiday in Brisbane, or the Gold Coast

  Travelling with a Disability

Brisbane city and the Gold Coast are located in South East Queensland, not far from the border shared with New South Wales. Because of the warm climate and many visitor attractions, Brisbane and the Gold Coast are favourite and very popular holiday destinations for many vacationers.

Planning a holiday can be difficult and stressful for anyone. If you have a disability, a little extra effort and planning can make your trip much more enjoyable. Although travel may seem difficult or even impossible, it can be less of a problem if it's properly planned.

Increasingly, older folks and people with disabilities are making their way to Brisbane and the Gold Coast to enjoy some relaxation and holiday activities.

For people with disabilities, everything from dressing in the morning to getting into bed at night is more difficult than it is for most people. Travel can be included in the long list of activities more challenging for a person with a disability.

Coping with most disabilities requires use of one or many aids or items of equipment to help with bathing, toileting, or just getting about. These aids range from shower chairs and commodes, rollators or wheelchairs, to lifting hoists or lift recline chairs, and hospital beds and pressure mattresses. Some disabled people also require a personal carer to assist with mobility.

Because of the size and weight of some equipment it is often too expensive or otherwise inconvenient to transport it with you when you travel. There is the added risk of damage caused by carriers and the time involved in despatch and collection. Many happy holidays have been ruined through some vital piece of equipment going astray or being badly damaged in transit. A much more cost effective and easier alternative is to rent the equipment at your destination.

The advantages are many: you arrive at your hotel/motel or holiday home to find the ordered equipment set up for you ready to use, and when you vacate your holiday accommodation, the rental items are taken away without any effort or worry on your part.
