Assisted Travel & Community Transport
Safe and reliable transport to enable participants to access the community for appointments, social activities, or daily tasks, accompanied by a trained support worker.
Door-to-Destination Assisted Travel
Getting out and about is a vital part of living an active life. Our travel and transport services are not just standard taxi rides; they are supported travel plans designed to help you access the community with a companion by your side.
How Assisted Transport Works
Our support workers do more than just drive. We help you:
- Board and Disembark: Provide mobility transfers in and out of vehicles.
- Accompany You: Walk with you into appointments, shops, or social venues.
- Manage Grocery Shopping: Help you pick out items and pack/unpack them safely in your home.
Key Goal
To overcome transport barriers, attend important appointments, engage in the community, and reduce social isolation.
