Refunds Policy

Refund & Return Policy

Direct Mobility Australia

Australian Consumer Law (ACL) — Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the ACL. For major failures, you are entitled to a replacement or refund. For change-of-mind, the following terms apply.

Change-of-Mind Returns (7 Days)

We offer a 7-day return period. To be eligible, the item must be unopened, unused, and in its original sealed packaging.

Condition Policy:

Once an item is opened or assembled (e.g., Lift Chairs), it cannot be resold as new. Therefore, we do not accept returns for products that have been unboxed or used.

  • Request must be made within 7 days of delivery.
  • The customer is responsible for arranging and paying for return shipping.

Restocking Fees

A 25% restocking fee applies to all change-of-mind returns. This fee is deducted from your total refund amount.

Why? For large items like Lift Chairs, we often subsidize shipping (charging $50-$100 while actual costs range $100-$300). This fee covers administration, handling, and initial shipping subsidies.

NDIS Orders

For NDIS participants, we strongly recommend a trial/assessment before purchase to ensure the equipment meets your goals.

If a return is requested, we will coordinate with your Plan Manager. The same 25% restocking fee and return shipping rules apply to NDIS funded orders.

Damaged or Faulty Items

If a product is faulty or not as described under ACL:

  • Contact us immediately with photos/videos.
  • Restocking fees do not apply to genuine warranty claims or major failures.
  • We will cover return freight costs for confirmed faulty goods.

Non-returnable Items

For hygiene and safety, we cannot accept change-of-mind returns on:

  • Opened personal care/hygiene items (cushions, bathroom aids).
  • Custom-configured products.
  • Sale/Clearance items.

Refund Process

Once the return is inspected and approved, the refund (minus the 25% fee) will be processed to your original payment method within 10 business days.
