WSTP-b training resources (Pacific)

Based on the World Health Organization’s Wheelchair Service Training Package, Motivation Australia has adapted the existing material and included new information for our partners in the Pacific.

This resource set supports the training of personnel in the Pacific. Personnel will learn how to provide an appropriate manual wheelchair and cushion for adults and children, who have mobility impairments, but can sit upright without additional postural support.

Personnel in the Pacific will find new information that is relevant to them. The original Wheelchair Service Training Package – basic, as well as the intermediate and manager packages, can be downloaded here.
