Why Bionomic Seating has been declared GST free by the government? We had to satisfy The ATO of the following:
​
"That Bionomic seating is specifically designed for people with an illness or disability postural support seating should be:
​

1. Custom made to suit the particular persons anatomical shape in order to provide correct postural support.
   Designed by a Chiropractic Doctor, the approach to the design and production of the product arose from the direct understanding and application of spinal biomechanical considerations and the affect of those on the neurophysiological components of the human’s spinal column. As there is a specific medical understanding of this subject and it is taught in Chiropractic/Medical schools, the device has been made to adapt to a majority of the “spinal considerations” that appear in the population. This device incorporates the Bionomic Patented seat pan/ with multiple density's of foam to cradle and support the pelvis properly.
2. Adjustable to such an extent that the product can be customized to the individuals body shape or size in order to provide correct postural support.
   This product has the widest range of adjustment and can adapt to a majority of the spinal considerations that appear in the population. The product must be coupled with the appropriate mechanisms (centre pivot) and backrest uprights (customised) to be most effective.
3. Incorporate several of the following design characteristics which will ensure the product provides the necessary postural support for people with an illness or disability:

• Specifically designed to provide a correct sitting position that results in sitting firmly on the pelvic bones and that aligns and lifts the head, neck and back... ABSOLUTELY YES!!! the design of the chair is to closely emulate that posture of standing which is regarded as the most physiologically efficient posture. One of the criteria of the correct setting up of the chair to your specific body shape and size is that if you can rise out of the chair with minimal effort.
• Adjustable or appropriately shaped/sized lumbar support... YES Bionomic incorporates all the standard parameters of current seating. Keeping in mind that the lumbar support is just that a support mechanism and not the focus as many in the industry have tended to do. The main focus of Bionomic is the seat pan and the interrelationship of it to the occupant and to support and assist in maintaining the occupant in the most physiologically efficient posture.
• Adjustable seat height and depth... YES Bionomic incorporates all the standard parameters of current seating.
• Adjustable seat base angle… YES Bionomic incorporates specially selected mechanisms (centre pivot) and backrest uprights (customised). This allows the Bionomic Seating System to accommodate widest range of adjustment and can adapt to a majority of the spinal considerations that appear in the population.
• Specific features to enable people with difficulties in rising to get in and out of the seating... ABSOLUTELY YES!!! the design of the chair is to closely emulate that posture of standing which is regarded as the most physiologically efficient posture. One of the criteria of the correct setting up of the chair to your specific body shape and size is that if you can rise out of the chair with minimal effort.
• Pressure reducing cushions… YES the chair seat pan is designed with three distinctive sections of foam density. The one that is most centrally located is of a lesser density to cup and cradle the pelvic bones to engage and support the pelvis for long periods of sitting.
• Adjustable in height so as to attain the correct seating position for the requirements of the individual adjustable back angle to enable proper support (other than simply reclining) and contain appropriately positioned/shaped back supports... YES Bionomic incorporates all the standard adjustable parameters of current seating.
• Removable armrests… YES can be ordered with Arm rests or without.
• Fitted with wheels, glides or a mobile base suitable for movement of disabled people…as an option... YES
• Locking brakes... as an option... YES
