Our fees depend on the distance you travel and how you travel. Here is a listing of our fees (PDF download). Please contact us if you need help to understand the fee structure.
Our travel options include volunteer and staff drivers who provide group and individual transport options, subsidised taxi and Uber trips. Transport fees may vary depending on the distance travelled. Subsidised taxi trips can vary in cost.
Some suburbs in the serviced area can be limited in options for pick up and might be only available as a group bus or taxi/Uber.
Please note that we do not have vehicles that accommodate wheelchairs or clients with other assistance requirements, and our drivers are not trained support workers.
