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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
