Where therapy feels like play.
“I think it’s absolutely essential for his wellbeing.”
What families and therapists work toward
The NDIS asks how equipment supports the goals already in a participant’s plan. These are the domains families and therapists most often connect to trampoline-based activity — always therapist-led, never one-size-fits-all.
Daily living
Motor planning, balance and coordination practised in short, repeatable sessions. Therapists often use the bounce to work on transfers, sitting balance and body awareness that carry over to everyday tasks.
Health & wellbeing
Low-impact cardiovascular exercise, muscle tone and endurance. Movement that is genuinely fun tends to happen more often — which is rather the point.
Social & community participation
A backyard trampoline is a place siblings, friends and neighbours already want to be. Turn-taking, shared games and joining in happen naturally around it.
Relationships
Shared play builds connection. Many families tell us the trampoline is where conversation and laughter come easiest — no goals sheet required.
Lifelong learning
Following instructions, sequencing movements, counting bounces, waiting for a turn: the mat doubles as a place to practise skills that show up in the classroom.
Choice & control
Confidence in movement builds independence. A safe, level-access setup lets participants choose how, when and for how long they move — on their own terms.
How a replacement-support application works
Five steps, in order. The one that matters most is step four.
Talk to your therapist
It starts with your occupational therapist, physiotherapist or exercise physiologist. They assess whether trampoline-based therapy — often called rebound therapy — addresses goals already in your NDIS plan.
Gather the evidence
Your therapist writes a letter linking the trampoline to your plan goals. We supply a formal quote and our Evidence Pack — equipment specifications, safety data and a plain summary of the published research — to attach.
Apply to the NDIA
You, your plan manager or your support coordinator submit a replacement-support application to the NDIA with the therapist letter, quote and evidence attached.
Wait for written approval
Do not purchase before you have the NDIA’s written approval. Money spent before approval generally cannot be claimed back — no matter how strong the application was.
Purchase and install
With approval in writing, order with confidence. We deliver Australia-wide and install most of the trampolines we sell.
“Our students absolutely love the trampolines from Mr Trampoline — they use them every single day. The quality is outstanding, and they are wonderfully bouncy, bringing so much joy and movement into playtime.”
What your plan management means
The straight answer first: since October 2024, the NDIS generally cannot fund trampolines. There is one narrow pathway — a replacement support application — and it requires written NDIA approval before you purchase. Everything on this page exists to help you and your therapist decide whether that pathway genuinely fits, and to make the application as strong and as honest as it can be.
Plan-managed
Your plan manager pays our invoice directly once the NDIA has approved the replacement support. We’re happy to talk to your plan manager at any point.
Self-managed
You pay us and claim reimbursement against the approved replacement support. Keep the written approval, invoice and receipts together.
NDIA-managed (agency)
We are not a registered NDIS provider, so NDIA-managed participants cannot purchase from us. We’d rather tell you that plainly now than after you’ve fallen in love with a trampoline.
Where we stand: we will never help dress a purchase up as something it isn’t. If a replacement-support application doesn’t genuinely fit your circumstances, we’ll say so — and you’ll still be welcome to buy from us the ordinary way, like thousands of families do.
Facts your therapist will want
- In-ground installation means no fall height — the bed sits flush with the lawn.
- Level access on and off the mat — in-ground and in-deck installs suit wheelchair transfer.
- Soft, deep bounce from up to 114 galvanised 11-inch springs, tested to 1000kg.
- 30-year frame & structural warranty.
- 8-year bed warranty with scheduled re-coating; 5-year warranty on rubber surrounds.
- Every part is replaceable, forever — the equipment outlasts the plan.
What the research does — and doesn't — say
Certainty matters more than enthusiasm. This is our plain reading of the published research — the same summary we include in the Evidence Pack.
Balance — moderate-to-low certainty
A 2026 meta-analysis in Frontiers pooling 15 randomised controlled trials found trampoline-based training improved balance outcomes. The authors rated the certainty of that evidence moderate to low — encouraging, not conclusive.
Autism — motor skills
Small controlled studies report gains in gross motor skills and coordination for autistic children. Results are promising, but the studies are small and more research is needed.
Cerebral palsy
Early studies suggest improvements in balance and gross motor function for children with cerebral palsy. The evidence base is small and further trials are needed before firm claims can be made.
Parkinson's disease — adults
Preliminary research in adults shows potential balance and confidence benefits. It is not yet strong enough to be called established.
Rebound therapy — where it began
Rebound therapy is the therapist-led use of trampolines, pioneered in the UK by Eddy Anderson in 1969. It has been used in special-education and therapy settings for more than fifty years, with structured programs working on muscle tone, balance reactions, spatial awareness and communication — always graded to the participant by a trained therapist.
Sensory regulation — practice-based
Therapists widely report that rhythmic bouncing provides strong proprioceptive and vestibular input, which some participants find organising and calming. This use is well established in day-to-day practice, though the published evidence base remains small — we would rather tell you that than oversell it.
What we will not claim: that a trampoline treats or cures any condition, that it substitutes for therapy, that funding is likely, or that the research is stronger than it is. Your therapist is the right person to judge fit — our job is to build the safest, longest-lasting trampoline they could put their name to.
Worth knowing: the 2024 change affects equipment purchases, not therapy. Rebound-therapy sessions delivered by your therapist remain fundable under your existing therapy supports, exactly as before.
Asked every week
Can I just buy it and claim later?
No. Reimbursement without prior written approval is generally refused. Approval first, purchase second — always.
Are you a registered NDIS provider?
No, and we’re upfront about it: NDIA-managed participants can’t purchase from us. Plan-managed and self-managed participants can, once a replacement support has been approved in writing.
Will you talk to my therapist or plan manager?
Gladly. We’ll supply specifications, the Evidence Pack and a formal quote, and we’re happy to answer their questions directly.
What should the therapist letter cover?
How trampoline-based activity addresses goals already in the plan, why it’s the appropriate option compared with alternatives, and how it will be used safely. Our Evidence Pack includes a checklist.
Does it need to be a particular trampoline?
The NDIA assesses your application, not our catalogue. Most therapy applications we see involve in-ground installation, for level access and no fall height.
This page is general information, not advice about your individual plan. NDIS rules change — always confirm current requirements with the NDIA or your plan manager. Information last verified 13 July 2026.

Steve Henderson
Mr Trampoline came to the rescue to replace a two string Jet Jol trampoline that had reached the end of its life. Not only could they provide the exact same size mat but organised appropriate new cushions. All arranged by Sonya in a seamless and speedy manner for a WA customer, at an affordable price.
Roger Mostert
From my first enquiry to the delivery of the trampoline, the team at Mr Trampoline were amazing. Very professional and informative. They were great to deal with, and I would highly recommend using them. The kids love our new trampoline, and it is the social hub when all their friends are over.
Kieran Little
Mr Trampoline is wonderful. We replaced ours after 35 years a new Matt along the way. It is an amazing recreation for children fitness, balance and coordination. Thankyou
Jessica Beilby
Sonya was so helpful and quick to respond. Very knowledgeable staff that were friendly and posted my order promptly. Highly recommend using Mr Trampoline.
Rebecca A
Mr Trampoline have been doing in-ground trampolines since the 40s! These guys know their product and are passionate about it. Called to get our pump serviced 10 years after install (my family also purchased our inground trampoline from the same company when i was a kid in the 70s :). Ren came out on the day to service – what a lovely interesting guy who got the job done with no fuss. Thanks Adam and team for a great product and awesome service as always.
Louise Scott
Our trampoline mat lasted for 20 years of constant use before it needed replacing. The team were great to deal with and we are delighted with the new mat and look forward to many more years of bouncing!
Craig Rundell
Extremely happy with the product and customer service.
Went above and beyond to help us with a non standard size and installation.
Could not be happier. Friendly and extremely knowledgeable.
Noah Eckert
Sonya and Adam were awesome. After 15 years, my 2-string Aussie bed finally gave up the ghost. My original vendor no longer carried the Aussie beds, so I was really happy to find the folks at Mr. Trampoline. Super responsive, patient, and detail oriented. Look forward to receiving my new custom woven bed in green (my wife’s desired color). Pumped that I have a new trusted trampoline partner! Thanks again.
Guy W
Fabulous customer service, great product
Paul Sousa
Great service/work. Ren was brilliant. Would strongly recommend.
Bill Warrick
The customer service and attention from Mr Trampoline were excellent in our experience. We made several calls to them in our research building up to the purchase and they were very helpful and responsive in following up with the details we needed. The quality of their product and their leadership in the trampoline field led us to choose them. When we went to pick up our trampoline from the factory in Melbourne, the owner dropped everything he was doing and walked us around the plant offering guidance and advice on how to properly construct and care for our in-ground trampoline. It was just the extra support we needed and his time and attention were much appreciated.
Talia Lam
I bought a trampoline yesterday for myself
AiroWorld Altona
As always, Mr Trampoline looked after us once again.
Service is exceptional, the boys are always there to help and advise as needed. Can’t speak highly enough about them.

Best wishes to you all,

Great to deal with and very helpful
duncan stewart
Adam and the team built our Olympic size tramp at the farm 10 years ago. Millions of bounces (and dozens of kids later) it’s still going strong and provides fun for all ages. Highly recommend Mr Trampoline – great product and proper after sales service from Sonya and the Team
fraser raven
We purchased our in deck trampoline three years ago as part of a new house build. Adam was fantastic in developing a perfect custom solution for a compact space. The trampoline has been in use everyday since and never missed a bounce. Highly recommend Mr Trampoline for all your trampoline solutions
Tim Addison
Awesome guys. I wasn’t a trampoline customer, but thought they could help me with a project I needed to repair. The guys were super friendly and although they couldn’t sell me a tool I needed, they lent me one of their tools. Incredible service, highly recommended!
Vladimir Stankovic
Awesome team. Very responsive and helpful. The best trampoline mats and springs u can find in the market.

Mr Trampoline has supplied great tramps for our family for three generations now. I always receive great service for the occasional repairs or repaint. All parts are replaceable so they are also sustainable. Forget getting a pool, a good trampoline will get way more use. Highly recommend

Kelly du Kamp
Mr Trampoline was very easy to deal with, a lovely chap called Gareth delivered the parts, communicated and presented well. Highly recommend.
JJD
These guys do a great job. We needed our pit cleaned and pump replaced and they attended to it swiftly and efficiently. When we had some bad luck and the new pump failed soon after installation they didn’t hesitate to pop by within a day and swiftly change it out under warranty. Good honest business with good old fashioned service.
Shyrla Werdiger
Efficient service, great product, have had trampolines for years from Steelfast and now Mr Trampoline, good to work with.
Mary Prowse
Thank you for the wonderful service. The administration team lead by Sonya were fantastic to deal with and the installation completed by Renn was efficient and his attention to detail was really appreciated. I would highly recommend Mr Trampoline for installation of on ground and above ground trampolines and restoration of existing trampolines

Very friendly staff that were a pleasure to deal with. The service provided was excellent with good communication and the product on its way the next day. Thank you Mr Trampoline folk.
Teresa Brown
We have been lucky to have used a Mr Trampoline tramp for over 30yrs. (Formerly steelfast!) The in-laws tramp is still going strong and now it was our turn for one. You will never have to buy another tramp again. FYI it’s adult approved also! Great customer service and even sent the invoice mentioning my daughters name, talk about personal touches. Thanks Team.
Ros Cathro
I’m so glad we found Mr Trampoline well over 15 years ago. Our in-ground trampoline has been a great source of fun for all our 3 children and their friends right up to becoming adults. Now, we are selling our home, and thanks to the Mr Trampoline team it’s ready for another young family to enjoy for years to come. I would highly recommend their services to anyone.
Marilyn Shinners

Thank you Mr Trampoline for a great product and excellent service. We’ve enjoyed the trampoline for the last 18 months and just ordered another one for our new house.
Rosie k
Today I dropped in to purchase a replacement Matt for my trampoline. Not only was I super happy one was in stock, however the service and advice was over and above from the entire team. Not only did I get to walk out with a new Matt, but a small factory tour and a little history of the business was a treat to see and hear.
Andrew Williams
Great trampolines. Awesome service.
Kalyan Voruganti
Saved our bacon! We had a kids party coming up and noticed a tear a few days before.
They came out quickly and replaced the mat. Reasonably priced. Also cleaned it up and was more than happy to go through maintenance etc with me.
Thanks so much! Highly recommended

Amazing customer service. Received a replacement Matt through an insurance claim. They assisted me with the whole process and made it very simple. The trampolines are fantastic and the service too!! Thanks
Marc Barrington
This was the best investment I have made for my family. The team was so incredibly professional and courteous during the installation and then the quality so many years on has stood the test of time and much use from my kids. I cannot recommend Mr Trampoline enough.
Mick Rees
Just finished assembling our new Olympic elite above ground trampoline. The team at Mr Trampoline was fantastic to deal with and there explanation of the assembly process was excellent. Great build quality and all made in Australia. Thanks guys.
Johncy Jacob
High quality Trampolines! Prompt communication as well as excellent customer service. Thank you Sonya!
Jing Zou
Recently had our broken trampoline mat replaced by Mr Trampoline. They responded quickly and very acknowledged in the job they do. As we were not home when the job took place, Simon from Mr Trampoline sent us message before he arrives and lots of pictures of the before and after. He’s not only helped us pump the water out and clean the grass inside, but also put everything back in place and locked our front gate. He’s doing his job in such a great manner, which he really deserves a 5 star rating!!
Jim Bo
Helpful and welcoming.
C B
We are delighted with our family trampoline. The service provided by the Mr Trampoline team was first class.
