About Us
Passionate about ergonomics. Dedicated to Australian workers.
Our Story
Office Chairs Australia was born from a simple frustration that many Australian workers share: finding reliable, unbiased information about office seating in a market flooded with misleading marketing and overseas-focused reviews. Our founding team spent months researching chairs for their own home offices during the shift to remote work, only to discover that most advice available online completely ignored the unique needs of Australian buyers.
We noticed that international chair reviews rarely addressed the challenges of our climate. Australian summers demand breathable materials that many popular chairs simply do not provide. Warranty service and customer support also presented problems, with many buyers discovering too late that their imported chair could not be serviced locally. Delivery costs to remote and regional areas often doubled or tripled the advertised prices. These issues inspired us to create a resource specifically for the Australian market.
Today, our team includes ergonomics specialists, a registered physiotherapist, and furniture researchers who collectively bring over 25 years of experience in workplace health and furniture evaluation. We personally test chairs in Australian conditions, assess warranty and support realities, and write guides that address the specific concerns of Australian workers. From lumbar support mechanics to synchro-tilt mechanisms, from mesh tension to foam density ratings, we translate complex ergonomic concepts into practical advice anyone can understand and apply.
Our commitment extends beyond product recommendations. We believe that understanding how to properly set up and use your chair matters as much as choosing the right one. That is why we publish comprehensive guides on posture, chair maintenance, and workstation ergonomics. Whether you work from a home office in Melbourne, a corporate tower in Sydney, or a regional business in Queensland, we aim to help you work more comfortably and healthily.
We are proudly independent and transparently funded. When you purchase through our Amazon affiliate links, we receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. This model allows us to maintain our research and continue publishing free, in-depth content for Australian workers. Every recommendation reflects genuine assessment, never paid placement.
