National Coverage: Local Focus

Who Are We?

Scooters Australia was established in 1992 in Melbourne and Sydney and has since grown to have a presence in all states. We operate through both company owned stores and licensed dealerships. The original owners of the company are still at the helm (see below).

We both import products ourselves, and act as distributors for other manufacturers. Over the time we have been in the aged care mobility industry we have slowly reduced the range of products to those in which we have confidence, particularly in the area of reliability. In this sense, our purchasing (and selling) philosophy is not based on price alone, although you will find we have a very competitive pricing policy.

In all our stores, our most basic requirement is that the products we sell we will support. We will not let a customer purchase from us and not be protected by a fully backed warranty. “Fully backed” means that we insist on all stores being able to repair and service our products. In addition, most stores can also service other brands.

Over recent years, Scooters Australia has been awarded many accolades and awards, two of the most recent are noted below. We are a major supplier to State Government Health departments, major shopping centres like Westfield, AMP and Centro, the Melbourne City Council, major insurance companies, community groups, Lions, Rotary and many other organisations and companies in Australia.

The Managing Directors

The two owners of the company started the business in 1992 and are still at the helm. In this industry experience counts, and both Peter Fraser and Kelvin Blake have the experience of being involved in the mobility scooter industry since its infancy, when scooters were not much more than glorified billy carts.

Kelvin Blake. Managing Director, Operations and Logistics

With a background in small business development, Kelvin started Scooters Australia in Melbourne late in 1991, with his wife Wendy (now the Victorian Sales Manager).

Kelvin has always had a keen interest in developing the product range of the business, and with extensive international travel, has a wealth of experience with overseas trends and developments. His strong negotiating skills with overseas suppliers have ensured that the Company’s products maintain their reputation for both quality and market-ability.

Kelvin’s main role in the company is operations and logistics, and ensuring that product development keeps pace with customer expectations. Kelvin is based in Victoria.

Peter Fraser (BA, BD, Dip Ed). Managing Director, Marketing and Finance

Peter was educated at Sydney University, majoring in Economics. He moved from education into small business 25 years ago, establishing Australia’s first national entertainment transport company – a company that has now moved onto the international stage.

In 1990 he sold his interest in this business and moved into the mobility industry, primarily because it was the only industry that specialised in electric vehicle transport. Peter’s interest is in marketing and in electric vehicles.

Based in NSW, Peter’s role focuses on marketing and financial management.
