Wheelchairs are likely to increase in price

News is out that some importers are set to increase the prices of wheelchairs and scooters. The obvious reason being the current low value of the Australian dollar. I consider it only fair that as new imports are coming in at a higher price we can expect to have those costs passed on to us, but I really do hope that the early charge into price increases by some importers isn't a profit scooping exercise to up value their existing stock holdings. Lets hope not!
