Ramps for elderly Australians who want to stay at home
A door threshold that was never a problem becomes a trip hazard. The step into the shower becomes risky. The back door lip catches a walker wheel. Falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospitalisation for Australians over 65 — and many start with exactly these small barriers.
We help older Australians stay safely in their own homes by removing them with custom rubber ramps designed for walkers, rollators and wheelchairs.
- No drilling or glue
- AS1428.1 gradients
- Free home assessment
Common fall hazards we eliminate
Each of these everyday features is a real fall risk. Our ramps replace the abrupt height change with a gentle, slip-resistant slope that’s easy to walk, wheel or push a walker over.
- Raised door thresholds and weather strips at external doors
- Step-over lips at shower and bathroom entries
- Height changes between rooms (tiled kitchen to carpeted lounge)
- Sliding door tracks that catch feet and walker wheels
- Small steps at laundry, garage and patio entries
Designed for walkers and mobility aids
Walking frames, rollators and four-wheeled walkers have small front wheels that catch on minor transitions. Our gradients let them roll smoothly over, without the jarring stops that make moving around tiring.

Ageing in place — why it matters
Most older Australians want to stay home as long as possible. Rubber ramps are one of the most practical and cost-effective modifications: far cheaper than renovations, no council approval, installed in one visit — and removable without damage if circumstances change.
Home Care Package and CHSP funding
If you receive a Home Care Package or Commonwealth Home Support Programme services, your ramps and grab rails may be fundable. We provide quotes and documentation, and work with OTs, physios and aged care coordinators assessing home modifications.

Questions, answered
Ramps for Elderly FAQs
Still unsure? Call 0422 166 173 and talk to the people who build the ramps.
What is the best ramp for an elderly person with a walker?
A custom rubber ramp at a gentle gradient that meets the step exactly, so the walker’s front wheels don’t catch.
Can ramps be funded through a Home Care Package?
Often, yes. We supply quotes and documentation for Home Care Package and CHSP applications.
Do outdoor ramps for elderly people get slippery?
Our recycled rubber stays grippy when wet, which is why it’s ideal for front doors and patios.
Can you install ramps quickly after a hospital discharge?
We prioritise urgent jobs where we can. Call 0422 166 173 with the discharge date.
Will the ramps look clinical?
No. Black rubber ramps sit neatly against the step and blend with most homes.
Can you remove the ramps later?
Yes. There’s no damage to the property, and we remove our ramps for free if they’re no longer needed.
Do you work with occupational therapists?
Yes, regularly. We can build to an OT’s specification or talk it through with them.
