Seat and Storage Space in One: A Custom Bathboard Solution Enhancing Safety and Independence

A clever volunteer-led redesign has transformed a simple idea into a practical custom bathboard that doubles as both a secure seat and convenient storage space. This innovative solution was created to support a client who needed a hard, stable cover capable of holding essential items while also providing a comfortable seat for showering and dressing.

Because of limited bathroom space, daily routines had become challenging—particularly as the client has a reduced ability to bend and manages chronic pain with a medicated syringe driver. Traditional bathroom mobility aids weren’t meeting her needs.

Everything changed when the client’s daughter learned about TADSA’s customised assistive equipment services. She shared the idea with her mum’s aged care provider, who recognised that a tailored mobility and bathroom aid could significantly improve her safety, comfort, and independence.

The result is a purpose-built bathboard with integrated storage, designed to maximise small spaces while offering secure seating support. This personalised solution enhances ease of use, reduces strain, and brings greater confidence to the client’s daily routine.

This is exactly what customised assistive technology can achieve—practical, thoughtful designs that make everyday living safer and more comfortable.
