Answer 1

There is a company called MobilityWorks that installs hand controls and other driving aids for people who drive in a wheelchair. They have some information on hand controls and other electronic devices on their web Equipment page at http://www.mobilityworks.com

They only have locations in the U.S. but you still might find the information useful. There is a company called Mobility Products & Design on their site you might want to look at. They might be able to provide you with an installer of their products in Australia. Good luck.
