There are moments in a small company’s journey that mean everything, that show how years of careful work have paid off.
For us at HT Systems, receiving TGA registration for the Kera Travel Hoist is one of those moments.
What TGA approval really means
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) is Australia’s medical device regulator. Registration isn’t automatic, and it isn’t symbolic. It requires evidence—of safety, quality, performance, and consistency.
For a portable transfer system like Kera Travel, that matters. It means the product meets recognised medical device standards and it means clinicians and providers can trust it.
It also means that the Kera Travel can now be considered within all healthcare and disability support settings across Australia.
For a small company, that’s no small achievement.
Why Kera Travel exists
Kera Travel was born out of a simple, practical reality: life doesn’t only happen at home.
People travel – they visit family, stay in hotels and move through spaces that weren’t designed with ceiling tracks or fixed hoists in mind.
We believed there had to be a better option – something portable, intuitive, and safe. A solution that didn’t require lifting someone out of their chair or turning travel into a logistical headache.
Kera Travel was designed to do exactly that.
Built carefully, approved properly
As a small team, we don’t rush products to market. We can’t afford to – and more importantly, we don’t want to.
Every design decision behind Kera Travel was made with real users and real caregivers in mind. TGA registration provides assurances that this care translates into a device that meets strict regulatory standards, not just good intentions.
It is evidence of thoughtful design.
Looking ahead
TGA registration opens doors – but it doesn’t change who we are.
We’re still a small company. We still listen closely and we still build carefully.
What it does change is access. It allows more clinicians, providers, and families to consider Kera Travel as part of safe, supported care—whether at home, on the road, or somewhere in between.
And for us, that’s the point.
A moment worth marking
In a world dominated by big manufacturers and complex systems, this milestone reminds us that small companies can still move forward – one step at a time.
Kera Travel is now TGA registered.
And we’re proud of what that represents.
