Transport

We provide an ACT wide, door to door community transport service to maximise client independence and to support their community access needs. Our team of experienced drivers transport clients with a fleet that includes a number of sedans and larger modified vehicles that support mobility needs and wheelchair access.

Community Transport

Our community transport services are a lifeline for many people.  We assist clients to maintain independence and confidence by transporting them to medical appointments, social and community activities and shopping centres.

Our community transport services are provided Monday to Friday between 7.00 am and 5.00 pm, across Canberra. Our experienced Transport team can assist with eligibility, service and booking information. Bookings are essential for all transport services.

Community Transport Eligibility

We are funded under the Commonwealth Home Support Program to provide services to Seniors. If you wish to access this service and you are aged 65 or older, or if you are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and 50 years or older, you will need to contact My Aged Care or call 1800 200 422.

You can also apply online through My Aged Care (click here). 

We can also provide transport to NDIS participants who have a current plan that covers the provision of this service.

All transport is subject to availability and advanced bookings are required.

 

Community Bus Service

The community minibus service is for people and community groups who are isolated in their communities through limited transport options. These vehicles are accessible for people with mobility challenges.

The services can be used for:
  • visiting friends or family in settings such as residential care
  • accessing local shopping centres or appointments
  • group outings or excursions
