The State-wide Equipment Program (SWEP) has received correspondence in relation to the regulation of special-needs strollers from the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC).
As a result, SWEP will re-instate existing applications that were placed on hold and accept new applications for special-needs strollers that comply with TGA requirements and meets the relevant Australian Standard, AS/NZS 3695.1:2011 (wheelchair standard) or AS/NZS 2088:2013 (pram and stroller standard) or equivalent International Standard
SWEP would like to thank you for your understanding and patience during this matter.
Any further enquiries should be directed to Jody Nicholson, Manager Aids & Equipment Children, jodyn@bhs.org.au
