How To Use The Beach Wheelchair

The Mobi-Chair beach wheelchair is stored in a small shed behind the clubhouse, marked as a First Aid Room with outward-opening metal doors and reached by a smooth concrete path. Guests first report to the Patrol Captain, who arranges a volunteer to guide them to the shed.

The wheelchair supports up to 130kg, has three seat positions, a seatbelt, and must be used with the supplied lifejacket. Carers assess their ability to push, seek help if the user is over 60kg, and must stay within the red and yellow flags in safe conditions. After use, wash at the showers, return the wheelchair and lifejackets to the shed, and notify volunteers of their return.
