Össur Mobility Clinics


Össur Mobility Clinic Event Announcement

We're excited to announce that we are increasing our Mobility Clinic events in 2024. We will be offering a greater number of events throughout the year across Australia and New Zealand. This change brings a more comprehensive experience to amputees and people living with limb difference by allowing greater accessibility to our events.  

At Össur, we continuously strive to enhance our engagement in the amputee community, and we are making some positive changes to ensure all those with limb difference around Australia and New Zealand receive even greater value from our Mobility Clinic events. We are excited about the possibilities that our additional Mobility Clinic events bring to the community. By investing in enhanced mobility and fostering a stronger support network, we're confident that together, we can make a substantial difference in the lives of amputees and people living with limb difference.

What's Changing?

Enhanced Clinic Experience 

Our commitment to delivering valuable experiences to amputees and people living with limb difference remains strong. We're introducing a refined mobility clinic structure to provide a more personalised experiences and a deeper focus on mobility needs. This will enable us to deliver more diverse and accessible mobility clinics while helping us focus on personal goals more effectively, empowering those within the amputee community to achieve optimal mobility and wellness. 

Starting in 2024, we will be launching a new series of Mobility Clinic events across Australia and New Zealand. Our aim is to extend the reach of these valuable clinics to provide ongoing support and education for amputees as well as the healthcare professionals who work closely with them. Attendees will have access to more clinics in more locations around Australia and New Zealand throughout the year. Each clinic will have a different focus, allowing amputees and people living with limb differences to choose the events they’d like to attend, depending on their location, availability, mobility needs, and interests. 

Mobility Clinic Attendance Rate

The attendance rate will be introduced in January 2024 for our non-profit Mobility Clinic events. This rate will contribute towards the expansion and enhancement of our clinics, offering improved resources, specialised staff, and tailored solutions, while ensuring that the events remain non-profit. This structure reflects our commitment to providing more Mobility Clinics and positively impacting the lives of amputees and people living with limb difference. The increase of this rate is necessary to meet the growing demand for our services and to help us maintain the quality of our Mobility Clinic experiences. Your contributions enable us to expand our clinic network, ensuring accessibility and benefits for the amputee community.
