For Balance & Walking Support
If you have started reaching for the wall, the kitchen bench or someone's arm to feel steady, you are in the right place. These are the walking sticks, walking frames and rollators we sell, grouped from the lightest support to the most.
How to choose
A walking stick suits steadier days, when you want a little extra confidence on one side. A walking frame, which many people still call a Zimmer frame, gives you solid support on both sides as you move around the house. A rollator is a walking frame on wheels with hand brakes and, on most models, a seat, for walking further and resting whenever you need to.
The height matters more than the model. Stand straight with your arms loose: the handle should sit level with the crease of your wrist. Each product page lists the measurements you need, so you can check the fit before you order.
Still deciding between types? Our guide to the best walking frames for elderly Australians compares them side by side. Everything here is NDIS compatible, and if something is unused and in its original packaging you can return it within 30 days.

Questions people ask
Is a walking frame the same as a Zimmer frame?
Yes. Zimmer frame is the name many Australians grew up with, and a walking frame is the same thing: a light metal frame you hold with both hands for support on both sides. Some have no wheels, some have two front wheels, and the ones with wheels, brakes and a seat are called rollators.
Should I get a walking frame with wheels?
It depends on how you walk. A frame with two front wheels glides forward without lifting while its back legs stay put, which suits most people around the house. A rollator, with wheels and hand brakes, suits you if you walk steadily and want to go further. A frame without wheels gives the most stability.
What is a rollator frame?
A rollator frame is a walking frame on wheels with hand brakes and, on most models, a seat. You push it rather than lift it, so it takes less effort over longer distances, and you can sit down when you want a rest. Lock both brakes before you sit, every time.
What height should a walking frame or walking stick be?
Stand up straight in your everyday shoes with your arms hanging loose. The handle should line up with the crease of your wrist, so your elbow bends a little when you hold it. Too high and your shoulders hunch, too low and you lean forward. Each product page lists its height range.
Do you sell a folding walking stick?
Yes. Our folding walking cane folds down to 29cm, so it can travel in a bag until you want it, then opens back out to full length. It suits you if you only need a stick some of the time, like on longer walks, at the shops or on uneven ground.
Help choosing
They need something solid to push against, short distances only
A standard walker is the right choice. No wheels means nothing rolls away. Best for moving between rooms or recovering from surgery.
