Connecting You to Your Community with Safety and Confidence
Difficulty getting around can make day-to-day life feel limited. Our goal is to remove those mobility barriers so you can live your life with full freedom and independence.
- Travel That Fits Your Routine: We plan journeys around your exact schedule, your energy levels, and your personal goals.

- Trained, Friendly Drivers: Every driver on our team is fully qualified, police-checked, and trained in first aid, mobility assistance, and wheelchair safety.
How We Assist Your Journey
We offer a range of flexible travel options depending on what you need most each day.
- Door-to-Door Accompanied Drives: A friendly support worker picks you up from your home, drives you safely to your location, and can stay with you during your activity or appointment before bringing you home.
- Public Transport Training: One-on-one help to build your confidence using Adelaide Metro buses, trains, and trams. We help you practice buying MetroCards, reading timetables, planning routes, and staying safe while traveling.
- Wheelchair-Accessible Vehicle Support: Comfortable transport in vehicles modified to secure wheelchairs, walking frames, and other mobility equipment safely.
- Social Outings & Daily Chores: Reliable rides for grocery shopping, visiting family, attending local events, or participating in weekend sports and hobbies.
Navigating Your NDIS Transport Funding
Understanding NDIS travel funding can feel confusing, but we keep it simple. Travel support usually fits into your plan in two ways:
- Core Supports – Assistance with Social and Community Participation:
This covers the cost of having a support worker drive you or accompany you on your trips. - Core Supports – Transport Allowance:
Direct funding provided in your NDIS plan if you are unable to use public transport without help. This money helps pay for travel costs related to work, study, or essential daily trips. - Capacity Building Funding:
This can be used to pay for travel training so you can learn how to travel on public transport independently over time.
Your Safety Is Our Highest Priority
Your peace of mind comes first every single time you step into a vehicle with us.
- Regular Safety Inspections: Every vehicle we use is fully insured, regularly serviced, and kept clean and comfortable.
- Skilled Handling: Our support drivers are trained in safe lifting, transfer techniques, and securing mobility devices correctly.
- Thoughtful Route Planning: We check traffic and plan routes ahead of time to make sure your journey is calm, comfortable, and punctual.
