For many the Summer of 2019-20 was the worst we’ve ever seen with so many communities impacted by drought, fires and floods. Now faced with a global pandemic – Summer no doubt seems like a distant memory.
We want to take moment to reflect on the lives lost during summer to fatal drownings. Royal Life Saving NSW has released their drowning report for 2019-20. Whilst the overall numbers are down slightly from previous years, this can no doubt be attributed to the impact the catastrophic conditions that Summer had on so many communities and the reduced amount of people in and around water during these times.
During such unprecedented times, many are finding themselves with more time to upskill and take on study or broaden areas of expertise. There is a variety of courses available to our Industry to keep you ticking over in the coming months. Below are a few options to check out:

Continuing to support the needs of people with a physical disability, is so important in these difficult times of isolation.
With so many people having been isolated at home over the next 3-6 months, it will be vitally important to get our communities active again when our Aquatic Sector can get back to Business as usual.
In light of that, Para Mobility is focused on ensuring we are not disadvantaging anyone or any venue or facility who may need important Assistive Technology at this time. It’s a good time whilst your venue is closed to think about what Accessibility equipment may be required for future use and start planning ahead.
In line with government requirements and with strict health protocols in place, our committed team are still manufacturing all our Australian Made products to ensure the equipment gets to the people & venues that need it in this time.
Because our Supply chain is within Australia, we are not seeing any major delays in producing our equipment at this stage, so I encourage you to get in touch if you require any accessibility equipment such as Pool hoists, Pool Steps, Change tables Ceiling hoists, Aquatic wheelchairs and more, in the near future.
Many of us are working remotely and actively monitoring & responding to all enquiries to the main phone line & email of 1300 444 600 or sales@paramobility.com.au.
Take Care & Stay Safe
Best wishes from all the Para Mobility team
