Bathroom Independence
If showering or getting on and off the toilet has started to feel less certain, for you or for a parent, the right seat or frame can make the bathroom feel like yours again. These are the shower chairs, shower stools, toilet frames and bath aids we sell.
How to choose
A shower stool is small and light, and suits a tight shower recess. Many people call it a bath stool. A shower chair adds arms and a back, which helps when sitting down and standing up is the hard part.
At the toilet, a raised toilet seat lifts the height by 10 or 15cm. An over toilet frame has its own seat and armrests and stands over the toilet. A toilet surround gives you armrests only. If you already use a raised toilet seat, choose a surround, because an over toilet frame brings its own seat.
Before you order, measure the floor space in your shower and the height of your toilet seat from the floor. Our guide to the best shower chairs for elderly Australians explains which seat suits which bathroom. Everything here is NDIS compatible.

Questions people ask
Shower chair or shower stool: which should I get?
Choose a shower stool if you mainly want the option to sit and your shower recess is small. Choose a shower chair with arms and a back if getting down and back up is the hard part, or if you tire standing. The arms give you something solid to push up from.
What is an over toilet frame?
An over toilet frame is a free-standing frame with its own seat and two armrests that stands over your toilet. It raises the seat height and gives you something solid to push up from at the same time. The legs adjust, so you can set the height to suit you.
What is a toilet surround?
A toilet surround is a frame with two armrests that sits around your own toilet, with no seat of its own. It suits you if the toilet height is already right, or if you use a raised toilet seat, and you want something to hold while you sit and stand.
Raised toilet seat or toilet frame: which do I need?
If the toilet is simply too low, a raised toilet seat lifts it by 10 or 15cm. If you also want something to push up from, add a toilet surround, which works with a raised seat. An over toilet frame does both jobs in one, but it cannot be used with a raised seat.
Do I need a shower chair with arms?
Arms help most when sitting down and standing up feel unsteady, because they give you somewhere to push from. If you mostly want a rest while you wash and you stand up easily, a stool without arms takes less room. A chair with arms and a back suits longer showers.
Help choosing
They need to stay seated for most or all of the shower
A shower chair with arms and a back is the right choice. Gives full support: they can lean back, use the arms to sit and stand, and shower safely without needing assistance.
View shower chairs →They have reasonable balance but want a rest option
A shower stool is backless and more compact. Suits someone who mostly showers standing but wants something to sit on if needed. Good for narrower shower recesses.
View shower stools →The shower floor feels slippery and they're nervous about losing their footing
A non-slip shower mat lays flat on the shower floor and grips underfoot, no tools, no installation. It's one of the simplest changes you can make to a bathroom and one of the most effective for reducing fall risk.
View shower mats →Getting in and out of the bath has become difficult or feels unsafe
A bath board or transfer bench bridges the gap: they sit on the edge and slide across rather than stepping over the side. It removes the most dangerous moment of bathing without removing the bath itself.
View bath aids →Getting on and off the toilet has become difficult
A raised toilet seat reduces how far they need to lower and lift themselves. One of the most commonly needed bathroom aids and one of the simplest fixes.
View raised toilet seats →They need something to hold onto when getting on or off the toilet
A toilet safety frame fits around the toilet and gives them handles to push up from. Often used alongside a raised seat for maximum support.
View toilet safety frames →The toilet seat itself has become painful to sit on
A memory foam cushion fits over your existing seat in seconds. No frames, no installation, just immediate padding for pressure relief and soreness.
