What we do

Our Community Transport service is especially designed to help you with everyday access to the things you need such as getting to medical and specialist appointments, participating in social and recreational activities, attending community events, to do your shopping and errands, visiting friends or family and other places of interest.

Services we offer:

  • Door to door transport to and from your home and destination
  • Individual and Group travel
  • Regular transport to shopping facilities and assistance with your shopping bags to your home
  • Full day and short-day social group trips to a variety of destinations, scenic drives, special events and activities.
  • Opportunities for regional transport access and connecting with other transport services.

Shopping Access

Need to get to the shops, but it’s become a little tricky these days?

Let our driver take the worry out of getting a lift into town for your weekly shopping needs or enquire about our monthly shopping bus trip to other major retail shopping centres.

On the second Wednesday of each month, we operate a Shopping Bus trip to major retail centres alternating between Green Hills, Lake Haven & Tuggerah, and is available to people of ALL ages.

 

 

Social Outings and Group Activities

Discover amazing places, events and experiences, meet new people, and create friendships.

A calendar of full day and short-day social group trips is pre-planned each month to a variety of destinations, special events, scenic drives, and activities.
