About This Service
Our travel and transport services assist participants with the logistics of getting from one place to another safely and comfortably. Whether you need to go to appointments, work, or participate in community activities, our service ensures you can travel independently with ease.
This support can involve assistance with public transport (such as help getting on a bus or train) or in private vehicles, depending on individual needs. Support workers accompany participants to ensure safe travel, providing assistance as required.
This service promotes freedom, self-sufficiency, and confidence for participants by removing transportation barriers.

What is Included?
Support workers help with organising transport options based on what’s most practical and affordable. For instance, they may accompany a participant to a doctor’s appointment by taxi or bus, assist in navigating the public transport system, or help with organising private transport for a shopping trip.
Along the way, we provide guidance on accessing public transport independently, including reading timetables, using mobility aids, or learning to use technology for travel assistance.
This service can also help with organising special transport for people with more complex needs.
