Bendigo is one of regional Australia's most established service centres, anchored by Bendigo Hospital - one of the largest regional hospitals in the country. That scale of health infrastructure has turned Bendigo into a natural tree-change destination for older Victorians, with a good mix of affordability, allied-health capacity and walkable town streets.
The city is gently hilly rather than steep, which suits most scooters and power chairs without special torque requirements. Cold Central Victorian winters are the bigger factor: adjustable beds with heating and powered lift chairs come into their own from May through September.
We're based in Mount Waverley in metropolitan Melbourne, roughly two hours south. Bendigo still runs as a delivered, in-home service - a technician brings the equipment, assembles it at your home, runs the handover on your own paths and takes the packaging away.
