“It’s shown me things that I didn’t know that I was capable of.”

Caleb grew up as the only person in a wheelchair at his school. He had no example of what was possible. When he found Sporting Wheelies, everything changed.

Calling South-East Queensland residents - SHORT NOTICE - sorry

Trial of "World first" wheelchair restraint system on buses......

We’re looking for wheelchair users to take part in a trial of a new bus restraint system, aimed at improving safety during bus travel.

The trials will take place in Capalaba on 3 June, and at the Spinal Life Healthy Living Centre Brisbane on 4 June.

Participants will watch a short video, then move into place on the bus for a short trip before providing feedback afterwards.

Family, friends and personal support workers are welcome to ride on the bus as seated passengers.

Book your hour timeslot for Capalaba: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/bus-restraint-system-trials-tickets-1989889735766?utm_id=97758_v0_s00_e227_tv0&fbclid=IwY2xjawSJ3WtleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFIcFk0enNKNTUyUGg4VmU2c3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHvMenyCBX-mkREkalqlCl1MNIVPmul-Ogj3dlJuI3WqI3lUtrmsnurXWR3IB_aem_cKxvFGqxj13a9iXvUkZysA

Note: this is controlled testing of a prototype so bookings are essential and no filming and photography will be permitted.

Motorised scooters users are also welcome but as per current regulations, users will need to transfer independently to a fixed bus seat.

Experience a new bus safety restraint in action. Take a short ride, try the system, and share your feedback. Limited spots.
