Investing in Your Journey

20 July 2026

We are delighted to welcome the first of our new fully wheelchair-accessible Hyundai Staria vehicles to the St George Community fleet.

Every trip matters

Every journey helps someone stay independent, connected and involved in their community.

Whether it is travelling to a medical appointment, doing the shopping, attending an exercise class or enjoying time with friends, safe and reliable transport helps people continue doing the things that matter most.

Built for comfort, accessibility and safety

Many of the people we support rely on mobility aids or require additional assistance to travel safely and comfortably. As demand for accessible transport continues to grow, investing in modern, purpose-built vehicles has never been more important.

The Hyundai Staria has been selected with this feedback and need in mind. It offers a smoother ride, modern safety technology, improved accessibility and a spacious interior.

These features will help us provide a more comfortable travel experience, particularly for passengers using wheelchairs or travelling longer distances.

Our vehicles do much more than transport people. They help people remain independent, connected and actively involved in their community. Whether it’s getting to a medical appointment, visiting family or enjoying a day out with friends, every journey helps someone continue living safely and independently at home.

A significant investment in our community

A fully wheelchair-accessible Hyundai Staria represents an investment of approximately $90,000 once specialist wheelchair conversion, safety equipment and on-road costs are included.

Government funding helps us provide essential services each day. However, replacing specialised accessible vehicles requires significant additional investment.

Safety is always our priority

St George Community is accredited under the NSW Point to Point Transport legislation and meets strict safety standards.

Our fleet is supported by professional drivers, annual safety inspections, vehicle maintenance and repairs, and wheelchair-accessible transport services.

Help put another Staria on the road

The arrival of our first Hyundai Staria is only the beginning.

Every contribution, large or small, will help more people access essential appointments, participate in community activities, maintain their independence and stay connected with the people and places that matter most.
