Disabled Basins in Australia

Disability Basins FAQs

Who can use an ambulant basin?

Ambulant basins are ideal for wheelchair users, seniors, people with disabilities, children, and anyone seeking a safer, more ergonomic bathroom. They are commonly used in homes, aged care facilities, hospitals, and public or commercial bathrooms.

Are accessible basins compliant with Australian standards?

MyHomeware accessible basins are designed to support installation in line with AS1428.1 accessibility guidelines when correctly positioned. Proper installation, clearances, and compatible tapware are essential to achieve full compliance.

What is the best installation type for a disability basin?

Wall-hung installation is preferred for disabled basins because it provides clear space underneath for wheelchair access, improves reach, and makes floor cleaning easier, enhancing hygiene and safety.

How do you clean and maintain an accessible basin?

Accessible basins at MyHomeware are typically made from smooth ceramic or vitreous china, making them easy to clean. Regular wiping with a soft cloth and mild detergent helps maintain hygiene, prevent stains, and preserve the basin’s finish.
