Community transport
Our Community Transport program has been impacted by COVID-19 over the past two years but we are very please to advise that both Dial A Bus and Outings & Excursions have returned to full service.
Community transport is available for:
- people 65 years and older and
- people of any age who have a disability (and their carer)
to help them to remain independent, access their local community and maintain social connections.
Please note:
- If you have been approved for an NDIS package please contact your NDIS provider for transport services.
- Passengers need to be independent and mobile; wheelchairs and mobility aids can be accommodated.
- Passenger numbers are limited and will be allocated on a first to book basis.
