Community Transport Program

Transport assistance when illness, injury or other circumstances make getting around difficult

The Community Transport Program (CTP) provides transport for people under 65 who are experiencing transport disadvantage and are not receiving assistance through another government-subsidised transport program.

You may be eligible if you have limited or no access to suitable public or private transport because of physical, social, cultural or geographical factors.

Could the Community Transport Program help you?

You may be experiencing transport disadvantage because you:

  • Are recovering from an injury, accident, illness or surgery
  • Need to attend dialysis, chemotherapy or rehabilitation
  • Are temporarily unable to drive
  • Do not have family or friends available to help
  • Have limited or unsuitable public transport options
  • Experience cultural or language barriers when accessing transport

Eligibility criteria apply. You do not need to determine whether you are eligible before contacting us. Our team will listen to your circumstances and let you know whether the Community Transport Program may be able to help.

Where can we take you?

The Community Transport Program may provide transport for:

  • specialist appointments
  • hospital appointments
  • medical and allied health appointments
  • essential shopping

Transport is subject to eligibility, service availability and the type of journey required.

Enquiring or referring on someone’s behalf

You can enquire for yourself or on behalf of a family member, client or patient.

Referrals from GPs, health professionals, social workers and other service providers are also welcome.

Fees

A contribution towards the cost of your transport may apply. Our team will explain any applicable fees before your booking is confirmed.
If you are experiencing financial hardship, please speak with us confidentially so we can discuss what options may be available.
