Licence and Insurance Requirements
Registration requirements
In NSW and the ACT, motorised wheelchairs that weigh less than 110 kg and cannot travel at more than 10 km/h do not have to be registered, provided they are being used by a person with mobility problems. A person driving a motorised wheelchair under these circumstances is defined as a pedestrian under the Australian Road Rules and is permitted to travel on a footpath or nature strip adjacent to the road.
Vehicles exempt from registration are covered by the NSW and ACT nominal defendant schemes (administered by the Motor Accidents Authority in NSW and regulated by the Department of Urban Services in the ACT) if they are at fault in an accident in NSW or the ACT on a road or road-related area and cause injury to another person. However, this cover is only valid in NSW and the ACT.
If you intend to use your motorised wheelchair in another State or Territory you should check the requirements in that jurisdiction with its road transport authority.
Maintenance
All wheelchairs require regular maintenance. The supplier recommends a factory authorised service every year. Refer to User Manual or supplier for specific details.
