A history of superior service.

Established in 1986 as an importer, distributer and retailer of Merits mobility and rehabilitation equipment, Scooter World Australia is proudly Australian owned and operated.

The current owners, Ian & Yvonne Rothall, purchased Scooter World Australia in November 1998, and have enjoyed building the business based on the principles of supplying quality products that are standards tested offering superior service for all our customers,

Due to continual growth, in 2004 the wholesale and retail arms were split into separate entities to allow for a greater focus on specific customer needs and to streamline operations.

Scooter World Australia P/L remained the importer and distributor of Merits mobility and home care equipment.

SA Scooter Sales P/L was established as the retail company incorporating 3 retail stores in Adelaide under the banner Scooter World – the mobility people.

In 2007, with the number of dealers continuing to grow, there was a need to relocate Scooter World Australia Pty Ltd from our head office at Welland to a larger warehouse. The current site at Hindmarsh is situated within 1km of our head office in the western suburbs of Adelaide.

At all times our focus is to be recognised as a premium supplier of mobility and healthcare products and to have exceeded our customer’s expectation through superior and professional customer service. We look to forge strong, long term relationships with everyone we have an association with.

We pride ourselves on our prompt and personalised response to our dealer requests. We recognise that, as with all partnerships, their success is linked with ours.
Scooter World Australia has a small team of experienced personnel who exhibit high levels of integrity, honesty and individuality when dealing with customers.
