Koala Caddy for Health Care Professionals

Support safer, more independent patients – without adding to your team’s workload.

Koala Caddy is a simple, robust mobility accessory that helps people carry their essentials while they walk, freeing up their hands and reducing the need for staff to “just pop back” for items.

Whether you work on a ward, in community rehab, outpatient services or residential care, Koala Caddy is designed to fit smoothly into everyday practice and make small but meaningful improvements to safety, independence and time.

– we’ll help you work out the right set-up for your patients, services and environment.

Why Health Care Professionals Choose Koala Caddy

Busy clinical teams need tools that:

Support patient independence, not replace it
Are robust, easy to clean and simple to explain
Reduce avoidable risks and repeat trips, rather than creating more work

Koala Caddy has been developed with these realities in mind. It gives patients a safe, stable place to carry everyday items – medication pots, water bottles, personal belongings and daily living essentials – so they can focus on walking well, not juggling objects.

Clinical Benefits at a Glance

Promotes independence – patients can carry their own items during mobility practice and daily routines
Reduces falls risk – fewer awkward hand-loads and less temptation to “just carry one more thing”
Supports rehab goals – integrates into physio and OT programmes as part of functional mobility
Saves staff time – fewer return trips to fetch or carry items for patients
Fits real clinical workflows – suitable across inpatient, outpatient and community settings

Contact us to discuss your specific requirements – we can talk through your pathways, patient profile and environment to help you plan the best way to introduce Koala Caddy.

Where Koala Caddy Fits in Your Pathways

Koala Caddy can be used wherever patients are mobilising and need to keep essentials within reach.

Inpatient wards

Early mobility and step-down units
Elderly care, falls prevention and frailty services

Wherever it’s used, the aim is the same: more confident, independent patients – and clinical teams with a little more time and headspace.

Introducing any new piece of equipment is easier when everyone knows what it’s for and how to use it.
