Drive from your wheelchair with confidence

Every vehicle we convert is tailored to the specific needs of the user, whether you’re travelling as a passenger, transferring into the driver’s seat, or remaining in your wheelchair to drive.

- Wheelchair restraint systems and docking stations
- Floor lowering and suspension modification

Drive from your wheelchair with confidence
Our specialty lies in enabling people to drive directly from their wheelchair. For many of our clients, this is more than a convenience — it’s a life-changing step toward independence.
We design and install complete drive-from-wheelchair systems, including:
- Docking stations to secure the wheelchair in the drivers position
- Customised control placement (hand controls, steering aids, etc.)
- Driver transfer aids, if preferred
- Certified vehicle floor and restraint reinforcements
Each installation is tailored to the driver’s physical capabilities, needs, and long-term goals — with comfort, safety, and control at the core of every decision.
Advanced Technology – Paravan SpaceDrive
For drivers with minimal mobility or complex physical impairments, we proudly offer Paravan SpaceDrive — the world’s most advanced drive-by-wire system.
Paravan SpaceDrive enables full control of steering, acceleration, and braking through electronic input devices such as joysticks, mini-wheels, or touch-sensitive pads. It is the same technology trusted by rehabilitation professionals and motorsport teams around the world.
As the Victorian Service Partner for Paravan, Independence Automotive is authorised to supply, install, and service SpaceDrive systems, backed by factory training and engineering-level expertise.
This solution opens the door to driving for people who previously may not have had that option — with unparalleled precision, safety, and reliability.
Built on Trust. Backed by Engineering.
From initial consultation through to handover, we take the time to understand your needs and deliver a vehicle that genuinely enhances your life. We work alongside occupational therapists, NDIS planners, family members, and support teams to ensure every solution meets not just the technical requirements — but also the emotional and lifestyle goals of the person using it.
Whether you need a family van, an independent driving solution, or a commercial passenger transport vehicle — we’ll engineer the right outcome.
