Factory Direct Healthcare is Australian owned and run by a local family, committed to providing quality mobility equipment at affordable, factory-direct prices.
The North Lakes-based business offers personal and practical service in a bid to make essential healthcare products more accessible, without compromising on quality.
Product specialist Helen Harvey says, as the manufacturer, Factory Direct Healthcare can control the quality and keep prices affordable for the community.
“In our North Lakes showroom, you’ll find lift chairs, adjustable beds, wheelchairs, walking aids, bathroom aids and more, all available to trial in person,” Helen explains.
“We always encourage people to come in, sit in the chairs, try the beds and test the equipment, because seeing and feeling the difference firsthand makes choosing so much easier.
“We also welcome occupational therapists and other allied health professionals to bring their clients into our showroom for trials and assessments in a welcoming space. Together we can ensure the right fit and comfort for every individual.
“Because we manufacture our own range, there’s no middleman - just quality mobility equipment designed to seamlessly fit into daily life, with stylish and comfortable options that people are proud to have in their homes.”
Helen says when people visit the showroom, they’re not just buying equipment - they’re dealing with locals who genuinely care.
“With stock on hand, our team can also arrange prompt local delivery to get products into homes quickly and safely,” she says.
