ABA Adapted Apparel FAQ's

Q/ Why don’t you use all natural fibres for your apparel?
A/ Because natural fibres are prone to continual shrinking in commercial laundering. We use poly/cotton or 100% polyester fabrics as they are more resistant to shrinking. *However, a person who cannot tolerate synthetic fibres should only wear natural fibres.

Q/ What is the difference between ABA Adapted Apparel and other brands of split-backs?
A/ At our Aged Care Clothing shop in Cheltenham we acted as Agent for Petal Back Clothing, A1 Adaptive Apparel, and Just Split Backs — we chose to replace all of those brands with ABA Adapted Apparel as we preferred the ergonomic-design of ABA Adapted Apparel.
ABA Adapted Apparel has a wider variety of styles for women’s wear.
ABA Adapted Apparel is made in Melbourne to a high standard — the apparel is pre-shrunk so as to resist further shrinkage in aged-care laundries.
ABA Adapted Apparel is all made to the unique, patented, ergonomic design to ensure comfortable wearing, and to ensure easy dressing and undressing.

Q/ Why do you believe that ABA Adapted Apparel is the best adaptive apparel available?
A/ Because ABA Adapted Apparel has been clinically trialled in a dementia specific unit at an exclusive aged care facility, and the trial results proved that the apparel exceeded every criterion for ‘apparel most suitable for use in aged care facilities’.     *The trial results may be viewed at our office.

Q/ What is your returns-policy?
A/ Flawed items would be refunded but no refund or exchange is offered for ‘change of mind’.

Q/ How can I become an Agent or a Distributor for ABA Adapted Apparel and get paid a commission on sales that I generate?
A/ We often receive this inquiry, however we regret that we cannot engage a person on a commission-only basis as under the Award it would be a breach of Fair Work Australia regulations, as an ABN is required by persons earning income as an agent or distributor of goods or services.
