Össur Mobility Clinics


Empowering Amputees and Healthcare Professionals in Australia and New Zealand

Our Mobility Clinics are dedicated to enhancing the lives of amputees and people living with limb difference by creating opportunities for connection, learning, and growth. With clinics held throughout Australia and New Zealand, we aim to bring the benefits of increased mobility, group support, and community engagement to as many as possible. Through these clinics, participants gain access to resources and tools designed to empower them to achieve optimal wellness and mobility. We are here to support amputees and healthcare professionals every step of the way.

Our Mobility Clinics are more than just an event; it’s a vibrant community where amputees come together to connect, challenge themselves, and support one another.

Whether you’re aiming to enhance mobility, discover new activities, or build meaningful connections with others on a similar journey, the Össur Mobility Clinics provides the perfect space to grow, learn, and live a Life Without Limitations.

Our Commitment to Accessible, Meaningful Experiences

Össur’s mission is to improve accessibility and strengthen the amputee community through focused and engaging events. Our clinics are tailored to meet a range of mobility needs, with each event providing opportunities for group support and shared experiences. As our network of clinic locations continues to grow, we’re working to make sure these events are as accessible as possible to meet diverse needs in the amputee community.

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.
