Transport assistance provides practical support for individuals who need help travelling to appointments, activities, and essential destinations within the community. This service is often used by people living with disability, older adults, or those with mobility limitations who are unable to drive independently or require assistance during travel. Throughout the Shepparton Goulburn Valley region, transport support helps people access the places and services that form part of their everyday lives.
How It Works:
Support may include:
- Travel to medical appointments and healthcare-related visits.
- Assistance attending social, recreational, and community activities.
- Transport for shopping trips and everyday errands.
- Help getting in and out of vehicles safely.
- Accompaniment during outings when additional support is needed.
- Assistance using public transport where appropriate.
What to Expect
Transport support is arranged around the individual’s destinations, schedule, and level of assistance required. Some people may only need help with travel, while others benefit from support throughout the outing. Services can be adjusted over time as routines, mobility needs, or community participation goals change.
