Our range includes bath seats for seniors, shower seats for elderly, and shower seats for seniors, all created to enhance safety and independence.

Bath boards for sitting across the bath

A bath board sits across the top of the bathtub and creates a firm seated surface for washing or transferring. It is a practical choice when stepping over the bath edge feels unsafe, painful or tiring.

Bathboards are suitable for showering in the bath, bath boards form a good solid base in the bathtub. They are ideal pieces of equipment to enter and exit the bathtub, without having to step over the side of the tub. Our bath boards are adjustable to match most baths and have holes for quick and easy drainage. They are sturdy and able to support, at least, up to 180kg in weight. Perfect for use at home, in aged care facilities or hospitals.

Bath boards suit people who still have enough sitting balance and upper body control, but need a stable surface before moving their legs into or out of the bath area. Adjustable models fit most standard bathtubs, while drainage holes reduce water pooling during use.

Choose a bath board for showering over the bath, seated washing, recovery after surgery, reduced leg strength or safer entry into the tub. It is a simple Bathroom Aid that offers strong everyday value without a major bathroom renovation.

Heavy duty bath boards for stronger support

Heavy duty bath boards provide extra strength and stability for users who need a more robust seated surface across the bath. They suit home bathrooms, aged care environments and care routines where durability and higher load capacity matter.

This type of bath board is often chosen when the user needs firmer support during transfers, has a larger body size, or wants a stronger board for regular daily use. A robust and strong option also gives carers more confidence when setting up a safer bathing routine.

Measure the bath carefully before choosing. The board needs to sit securely across the tub, with the correct width, stable contact points and enough space for comfortable seated positioning.

Curved transfer boards for moving across surfaces

A curved transfer board supports smoother movement from one seated position to another. In the bathroom, it is often used where a person needs to slide from a wheelchair, chair or bath edge toward a safer seated position.

The curved shape supports positioning when the transfer path is not perfectly straight. This matters in smaller bathrooms, narrow bath spaces or layouts where the person approaches the bath from an angle.

Choose a transfer board when stepping, standing or turning creates risk. It suits people with reduced leg strength, one sided muscle weakness, fatigue, poor balance or post-surgery movement restrictions. It also supports carers by reducing awkward lifting and twisting during assisted transfers.

Swivel bath seats for easier entry and exit

A swivel bath seat supports people who find it difficult to step over the bath edge or turn safely in a wet area. The seat rotates, locks into position and gives the user a controlled way to sit, turn and move their legs into the bath area.

A bath seat is a convenient bathroom aid for elderly, people with disability, or those with limited mobility in their knees or limited strength in your arms. It will allow you to safely sit and relax while having a wash.

Our unique Swivel Bath Seat is a well-designed bath seat with a sliding and rotating feature that makes this bath bench ideal for getting in and out of the tub safe and effortless.

The Swivel Bath Chair is a trusted solution in many aged care facilities and private homes, and used by customers who prioritise quality, safety and convenience.

This style is ideal when a standard bath board does not provide enough guidance or seated control. Arm supports and a backrest add comfort and support during transfers and washing. A sliding swivel seat gives even more positioning control across the bath.

Choose a swivel bath seat for reduced balance, limited hip or knee movement, poor confidence with bath transfers, or care routines where safety and positioning matter every day.

Bath lift chairs for lowering into the bath

A bath lift chair suits people who want to sit lower in the bath but cannot safely lower themselves down or stand back up without powered support. It offers a more supportive bathing option than a standard bath board or swivel seat.

Electric bath lift chairs lower and raise the user in a controlled seated position. A reclining backrest adds comfort, while a handheld remote gives the user more control during bathing. Suction cup stability keeps the unit secure inside the bathtub.

Choose a bath lift chair when the goal is to enjoy a more traditional bath while reducing strain on the knees, hips, back, arms and shoulders. It suits disability support, the elderly population and bathing routines after injury recovery.

How to choose the right Bath Seat or Board

Let’s start with the main problem. If stepping over the bath edge is difficult, a bath board or swivel bath seat is often the first option to consider. If the person needs to move from another seated surface, a transfer board supports safer sliding movement. If the person wants to lower into the bath, an electric bath lift chair offers the highest level of seated support in this category.

Check the bathtub width, user weight, sitting balance, arm strength, enough room to transfer and carer involvement before making your choice. Also consider nearby located grab rails, anti slip mats and other Bathroom Aids for a safer setup.

For some users, a shower chair, over toilet frame or Walking Aids may also support the wider bathroom routine.

Who benefits from Bath Seats & Boards?

Bath Seats & Boards suit older Australians, NDIS participants, people with disability, carers, occupational therapists, aged care providers and people recovering after hip surgery, knee surgery, falls, illness or hospital stays.

They are often chosen for arthritis, osteoporosis, Parkinson’s disease, stroke recovery, reduced balance, joint stiffness, low stamina, leg weakness, chronic pain, dizziness or fear of falling. They also suit people who want to keep using an existing bath rather than changing the whole bathroom layout..

The right product supports more than washing. It protects privacy, reduces falls risk, eases carer strain and makes personal care feel less stressful.
