Transport Services
Getting around can be challenging for people with disabilities, but fortunately, we offer disability transport services that can help.
Public Transport
The public transport network, including buses, trains, and trams. While public transport is not always fully accessible, many services have been improved in recent years to provide better accessibility for people with disabilities. For example, most trains and trams in major Australian cities now have designated areas for people with disabilities, and many buses have ramps or lifts to help people board. However, it’s important to note that the level of accessibility can vary from service to service and from region to region. To use public transport, people with disabilities can apply for a concession card that provides discounted fares. In some states, such as Victoria, people with severe disabilities may be eligible for a free travel pass.
Paratransit Services
Paratransit services are specialised transport services that are designed specifically for people with disabilities. These services are provided by local government and non-profit organisations like us and offer door-to-door transport for people who cannot use regular public transport due to their disabilities. Paratransit services may require advanced booking. However, they can be an excellent option for people who need more personalised transport services.
Non-Emergency Medical Transport
Non-emergency medical transport services are designed to transport people to and from medical appointments. These services can in some cases be covered by health insurance or Medicare. Non-emergency medical transport services can be an excellent option for people who need to attend medical appointments but are unable to use public transport or drive themselves.
Organising Accessible Taxis and Ridesharing Services
In recent years, taxi and ridesharing companies have begun to offer accessible vehicles to transport passengers with disabilities. Examples of these services include Uber, Ola, and Didi. Accessible taxis and ridesharing services can be an excellent option for people who need to travel quickly and flexibly. However, the availability of these services can vary depending on the region, and the cost can be higher than other transport services.
