Raised Toilet Seats

Raised Toilet Seats Australia – Toilet Height Aids for Home & Aged Care

Safety and Mobility supplies a comprehensive range of raised toilet seats designed to increase toilet height and make sitting down and standing up safer and easier for people with reduced mobility, hip or knee restrictions, post-surgical precautions, or balance difficulties. Raised toilet seats are one of the most commonly prescribed bathroom aids in Australia, used across home care, aged care, and hospital settings to support independent toileting and reduce fall risk at one of the highest-risk daily living tasks.

Our raised toilet seats include clip-on raised seats, hinged raised seats with and without armrests, lockable models for additional stability, and integrated toilet frame and seat combinations. Heights typically range from 50mm to 100mm of additional elevation. Bariatric-rated options with higher weight capacities and wider seat dimensions are available for clients requiring heavier-duty solutions.

As a registered NDIS provider, Safety and Mobility can supply raised toilet seats to eligible NDIS participants and provide itemised quotes for plan managers and support coordinators. We deliver Australia-wide to homes, aged care facilities, and hospitals.

1. What height raised toilet seat do I need?
The right height depends on the user's sitting height and leg length. A general guide is that the seat of the toilet (with the raised seat fitted) should allow the user's feet to rest flat on the floor with hips at approximately 90 degrees. An occupational therapist can assess and recommend the appropriate height for an individual user.

2. Are raised toilet seats suitable for hip replacement patients?
Yes, raised toilet seats are commonly recommended following total hip replacement surgery to help the user avoid bending the hip beyond the prescribed precaution angle (typically 90 degrees) when sitting down and standing up. A model with armrests is usually preferred for the added push-up support.

3. Can raised toilet seats be NDIS-funded?
Raised toilet seats may be funded under the NDIS as a Low Cost Assistive Technology support, depending on the participant's plan and functional assessment. Safety and Mobility is a registered NDIS provider and can assist with quotes and supporting documentation.
