Wheelchair accessible with assistance

I got a letter from the Victorian Electoral Council about the state election this Saturday. It listed all the polling places in my region, marked FWA if they're fully wheelchair accessible, or AWA if they're wheelchair accessible with assistance. I don't know what 'wheelchair accessible with assistance' means, but I assume it's either "they bring your ballot to you because there's no booth available for your height" or worse, "it's just one step." Either way, there are no fully wheelchair accessible polling places in my district. Not one.
