Funded mobility equipment repairs

Independent Living Charitable Trust (ILCT) is committed to making daily living easier for disabled people and whānau through assistive products, services and support.

They’ve received funding from the Spectrum Foundation to repair mobility equipment for free for anyone in Auckland who can’t afford repairs. 

ILCT knows there is equipment in the community which needs to be repaired, but the repair bill is prohibitive for low-income whānau and older people living on a pension. ILCT may be able to
fix it for free to get you mobile!

Equipment can be dropped to one of their stores in Browns Bay, Royal Oak and Botany or they can collect and drop off within the Auckland area as the repairs team is based in East Tāmaki.

They can fix almost any type of mobility equipment, but don’t work on ACC or Health NZ equipment as they have their own repairs process.

The most common pieces of equipment ILCT see are walkers, wheelchairs, scooters, etc.
