Partner Programme for Ergonomists, Designers and Specifiers
Trade pricing, specification help and showroom trials for professionals who recommend office seating to their clients.
On this page
The Chair Dinkum Partner Programme is for professionals who recommend and specify office seating for other people: workplace ergonomists, occupational therapists and physiotherapists, architects, interior designers and workplace consultants. Partners get trade pricing on the products they specify, help with specification, and a showroom where clients can try chairs before anything is ordered. You make the recommendation; we look after the supply.
Who the Partner Programme is for
Ergonomists and allied health
Workplace ergonomists, occupational therapists and physiotherapists who carry out workstation assessments and recommend seating and equipment for clients and employers.
Architects and interior designers
Practices specifying task, meeting and soft seating, office pods and workstation accessories for workplace projects.
Workplace and facilities consultants
Consultants, facilities managers and project managers who advise organisations on what to buy for their people.
Retailers who sell from a showroom should apply to our dealer programme. Builders and fit-out contractors pricing a project should use our commercial fit-outs page.
What partners get
Trade pricing on what you specify
Trade and project pricing on the products you specify or order for clients. It is quoted per project, because quantity and product mix change the price, rather than published as a fixed discount schedule.
Help with specification
Manufacturer specification sheets, test and certification data where published, Environmental Product Declarations where the manufacturer publishes them (Flokk and Framery both do), and CAD and BIM files published by manufacturers such as Flokk and Framery.
A showroom for client trials
Bring a client to our Pyrmont showroom by appointment to sit in, adjust and compare chairs before you finalise a recommendation.
Samples and evaluation units
Samples and finish options can be arranged for product selection, and evaluation units can be arranged for suitable projects.
Delivery, assembly and placement
We supply Australia-wide. Delivery, and assembly and placement where required, are arranged for each order and confirmed when we quote.
Ordering that suits your clients
Purchase order, invoice and account ordering is available for approved commercial customers, whether you order for a client or the client orders direct.
For ergonomists, OTs and physiotherapists
A chair recommendation only works if the chair fits the person. These ranges give you real choice in size, shape and posture:
- HÅG Capisco saddle chairs. A saddle seat that opens the angle between thigh and torso, with gas-lift options for different seat and desk heights. Our models and measurements guide sets out the figures.
- HÅG Tion and RH task chairs. Conventional task chairs with a wide range of adjustment, including the RH Secur24 for 24/7 control rooms and multi-shift work.
- Herman Miller Aeron. Made in three sizes (A, B and C), chosen on height and weight together.
- Humanscale seating. We are an authorised Humanscale reseller. The Freedom and Liberty chairs adjust their recline to the sitter's weight.
- The rest of the workstation. Monitor arms and sit-to-stand desks to complete a setup.
The assessment and the recommendation stay with you. We supply what you specify, make sure the right size and configuration arrives, and can assemble it on site where required.
For architects and interior designers
We work from your schedule; we don't write it. Once products are shortlisted, we help you check them against the brief and gather what your documentation needs.
- The Flokk group. Chair Dinkum is the exclusive Australian importer and distributor for the Flokk group: HÅG, RH, Giroflex, Profim, Offecct and the wider Flokk brands, specified and quoted through us. See Flokk Australia.
- Framery office pods. We are an authorised Australian Framery dealer. Framery pods are installed by Framery-trained installers.
- Humanscale. We are an authorised Humanscale reseller, for seating and monitor arms.
- Kyoto for volume floors. Our own Kyoto task chair carries a 10-year Chair Dinkum warranty on the structural frame, base and gas lift, and suits projects where quantity matters.
- Government projects. Chair Dinkum Pty Ltd is registered as a supplier on buy.nsw, the NSW Government procurement platform.

Frequently asked questions
Who can join the Partner Programme?
Professionals who recommend or specify office seating for others: workplace ergonomists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, architects, interior designers, and workplace and facilities consultants. You need an Australian business or practice.
Is this the same as the dealer programme?
No. The dealer programme is for retailers who buy stock to resell from a showroom. The Partner Programme is for professionals who specify products for clients and projects.
Do you publish trade discounts?
No. Trade and project pricing is quoted per project, because it depends on quantity, product mix, delivery requirements and timing.
Can my client try a chair before buying?
Yes. You and your client can see and try products at our Pyrmont showroom by appointment. Evaluation units can be arranged for suitable projects.
Can I order on behalf of a client?
Yes. You can order for a client, or your client can order direct. Purchase order, invoice and account ordering is available for approved commercial customers.
Do you supply outside Sydney?
Yes, we supply Australia-wide. Delivery, assembly and placement are arranged per order and confirmed in the quote.
What warranty applies to the products I specify?
It varies by brand and model, and each term names who gives it. The details are on our warranty page. Warranties are in addition to rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
