This is a new site (2017). If you hover over the little building symbol on the top right and select an option you get a whole lot of filters on the left. Right near the bottom you can select wheelchair access.

Not a lot going on here but it might get better.

Evolution wheelchair accessible caravan
This mob make caravans in Melbourne. It looks a bit tight inside of course but the toilet shower set up looks very good. I used to have a wheelchair accessible campervan in Europe so I know a bit about this.

This bloke is a wheelie who has done some fun things like flying a plane. He has a blog describing stuff. He is also a “motivational speaker” for those of you in need of motivation.
He flew to Birdsville in a light plane like me, but unlike Dave, I didn’t pilot it!
I hope he doesn’t mind my using a photo from his website.
