Dear Practitioner
Currently there are a number of four- and three-wheel
scooters available in our reissue equipment pool.
If you have a current application with SWEP or are in the
process of applying for a scooter we would encourage you to review the Reissue
Database to see if one of the scooters would be a match for your consumer.
You can log into the Chemtronics database via this link: https://cabrini.technology/sc/ess.do
If you find a match for an application you have already
submitted, reserve the item and then contact SWEP to have your application
placed back to draft. This will allow
you to update the application and add the reissue item.
Under the Victorian Aids & Equipment Guidelines,
Practitioners are required to source reissue as first option on all
applications. Reissue applications are not waitlisted for funding and all
applications are processed within 10 days of receipt.
Sarah Casey, Occupational Therapist, at
Chemtronics works closely with SWEP to offer support for Practitioners and
consumers providing expert advice on suitability of reissue equipment and
customisation by appointment if required. Sarah has a wealth of
knowledge in particular around complex wheelchair and seating prescription as
well as pressure care management.
Tim Belleville continues to provide expert
technical support at Chemtronics also. Tim is able to assist you with any
database issues around navigating and identifying the right equipment. To
contact either Sarah or Tim please call Chemtronics on PH: 9463 2888.
