Why Chairs Matter More Than You Think
When people picture healthcare equipment, they often think of beds, machines, or clinical tools. Yet for many, the chair is just as important. It is where someone spends hours of their day. It is where they rest, read, talk with loved ones, or simply feel comfortable in their own skin. At Novacorr Healthcare we have always believed that a chair is never just a piece of furniture. It is a foundation for dignity, safety, and quality of life.
The Role of a Chair in Daily Living
For individuals living with progressive conditions, managing bariatric needs, or recovering from illness, the right chair can transform everyday life. A well-made chair supports posture, reduces pressure, improves circulation, and makes breathing easier. It provides independence for the person sitting in it and confidence for carers who know that their loved one or client is safe and supported. A thoughtfully designed chair can reduce risk of falls, improve rest, and create an environment where life feels less clinical and more personal.
Built in Australia, Designed for Real People
Every Novacorr chair begins its life in our Sunshine Coast factory. We use Australian steel for strength, Warwick fabrics for style and durability, and medical grade components for safety and reliability. Each frame is carefully welded and braced to meet or exceed Australian Standards. The result is a chair that is not only strong enough to handle the demands of daily use but also crafted with a sense of care that mass produced imports cannot match.
We believe that healthcare equipment should fit naturally into homes and care environments. That is why we offer a wide range of fabrics and finishes that feel warm, welcoming, and homely. People deserve to feel comfortable in their surroundings and not defined by their equipment.
One Size Never Fits All
No two people are the same and their seating should reflect that. Our chairs are created to adapt to the individual rather than forcing the individual to adapt to the chair. From tilt in space to zero gravity positioning, from powered lift and recline to specialised leg supports, every detail is considered. For people living with conditions such as Huntington’s disease or Motor Neurone Disease, this adaptability is critical as their needs change over time.
Through our Novacare range we provide practical ready to use options. Through Novacustom we create fully tailored chairs designed for unique body shapes, pressure care requirements, and living arrangements. This flexibility ensures that each chair can continue to support someone throughout their journey, offering comfort and security at every stage.
Working Hand in Hand with Occupational Therapists
Our partnerships with occupational therapists are at the heart of what we do. Together we script, trial, and refine solutions that make sense not only for the client but also for carers and support teams. Therapists know they can trust Novacorr chairs to be clinically justified, safe, and cost effective for long term funding. Many OTs have told us that recommending a Novacorr chair feels like recommending independence, dignity, and comfort all at once.
Meeting the Challenges of Different Care Settings
We understand that care looks different depending on the environment. Our bariatric chairs provide strength and stability without compromising style. Our mental health range incorporates tamper proof and anti ligature features while still maintaining warmth and comfort. In aged care and hospital settings we provide lounge chairs, day beds, and visitor seating that blend infection control, durability, and residential design. Each solution is shaped by listening to the people who use them and the carers who rely on them.
The Novacorr Promise
Choosing a chair is a decision that affects daily comfort, safety, and wellbeing. At Novacorr Healthcare we stand by every product we make with clear warranties and local support. Because we are Australian owned and Australian made, we can adapt quickly, improve continuously, and provide service that never feels out of reach.
In the end it is simple. Care begins with comfort and comfort begins with the right chair.
