Formally known as Brisbane Autocare

Wheelchair Accessible Minibuses

Custom minibus conversions engineered for passenger transit, complete with certified floor layouts, hydraulic lifters, and flexible seating configurations.

Flexible minibus configurations designed around your passengers

A successful minibus conversion starts with the right layout. We modify vehicle interiors to suit exactly how you plan to use them, whether that means maximising regular passenger seats for community outings or creating a spacious, comfortable layout for private family travel. From the popular Toyota Commuter minibus to Ford Transit and LDV Deliver 9 through to larger Mercedes Benz Sprinter  models, we integrate accessibility features seamlessly. We manage the entire process in-house, from initial layout design right through conversion to final transport compliance plates.

Safe, practical features for easy daily operation

Reliable mobility engineering that cuts out the complexity

We use smart, proven components that make loading and unloading straightforward for drivers, carers, and family members alike, ensuring every trip is smooth, safe, and efficient.

  • Powered Wheelchair Lifts: High-quality, reliable hydraulic lifters with simple controls and manual backups to guarantee safe passenger boarding.
  • Flexible Folding Seating: Easy-to-operate, certified flip-up seats that fold flat against the vehicle wall when you need to create wheelchair space.
  • Simple Wheelchair Tie-downs: Practical, self-tensioning tie-downs and occupant lap-sash belts that anchor quickly and securely into the floor anchors.
  • Durable Non-Slip Flooring: Commercial-grade, slip-resistant safety flooring that handles wet shoes, wheelchairs, and daily foot traffic with ease.

Built better through over 20 years of workshop experience

A reliable minibus conversion relies on what you cannot see behind the panels. Over our 20-plus years operating a fleet of accessible minibuses we have seen where standard conversions fail, they rattle loose, crack, or develop electrical faults. We engineer out those weaknesses by using heavy-gauge materials and extra mechanical fixings.

Because our build methods have been tested on Australian roads for over 2 decades, we know exactly how to reinforce a vehicle body for long-term durability. Every build undergoes rigorous quality checks before leaving our workshop, ensuring a quiet, durable ride.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know the conversion is completely safe for daily use?

Safety is our top priority. Every minibus conversion we complete undergoes rigorous in-house quality checks and is fully certified by an independent transport engineer. We fix an official Australian modification plate to the vehicle, proving it meets or exceeds all relevant Australian regulations and standards.

Have your wheelchair tiedowns and occupant restraint systems been crash-tested?

Yes, absolutely. We only fit crash-tested tiedown and restraint components from industry-leading suppliers. Our 20-plus years of vehicle modification experience have taught us which components hold up best over time, ensuring your passengers are always completely secure.

Can we adjust the seating layout ourselves safely?

Yes. We install quick-release and flip-folding seats designed for total simplicity. They allow drivers or carers to reconfigure the cabin from standard seating to wheelchair positions in just a few minutes, locking tightly into place without compromising passenger safety.

What kind of testing do the wheelchair lifts undergo?

Every hydraulic lift we install is thoroughly load-tested in our workshop to guarantee operational reliability. We also walk you through the lift’s built-in manual emergency backup systems during vehicle handover, ensuring you are fully prepared for any unexpected situation on the road.

How does your 20-plus years of workshop experience benefit our build?

Decades of practical experience mean we do not guess, we know what works on Australian roads. We understand how vehicle bodies flex under load, which materials outlast the rest, and how to design a cabin layout that makes loading seamless. You get a reliable, rattle-free vehicle built by qualified tradespeople.
