James Leckey Design Ltd. and Ottobock have mutually decided to end their Australian distribution agreement effective December 31, 2017.

Sunrise Medical is proud to announce our new partnership with James Leckey Design Ltd.  as the new distributor of their product range in Australia. From the 1st of January 2018 Sunrise Medical will begin to take orders for the Leckey product range.

Leckey’s paediatric positioning devices are an innovative product range in the market of seating and positioning as an addition to our extensive product line up alongside Quickie, Jay and JCM seating and positioning systems.

Otto Bock will cease to accept orders for Leckey products from the 21st of December 2017, with any orders and enquiries after this date to be redirected to the Sunrise Medical Sales Team. Ottobocks’ Leckey product range and pricing will be maintained.

Sunrise Medical is excited to be moving forward with James Leckey Design Ltd. as the new Australian distributor of Leckey’s extensive product range.
