All-terrain wheelchairs
All-terrain wheelchairs are now available in a number of Victoria's parks for visitors with significant physical disabilities to explore the great outdoors.
The chairs are suited for sandy and semi rough tracks, making it easier to access the many stunning trails in the Grampians and Lysterfield Park and beaches at Cape Conran, Wilsons Promontory and Point Nepean. Beach access wheelchairs especially for children are also available at Wilsons Promontory National Park and Cape Conran Coastal Park.
All-terrain wheelchairs easily disassemble and fit in the back of a station wagon and with the help of operators, you can experience Victoria's parks like never before. Please supply your own bike helmet at the Grampians and Wilsons Promontory.
Chairs can be booked free of charge.
