Community Transport provides transport to and from key appointments.
Since 1975, we have provided safe and reliable door-to-door transportation for our community.
The purpose of community transport is to assist people who are unable to use private or public transportation and have no relatives or friends to help them out.
Priority of Access
• Requests for service are prioritised according to demand.
• Eligibility does not necessarily guarantee access to service.
• Medical appointments are a priority
• Regular transport to appointments, even to BHN services, are not guaranteed each week
All transport is dependent on the availability of Volunteer drivers.

• We provide transport from your home to your appointment and back home.
