Disability Community Access
Helping you get out and about in the community
We know how important it is to be part of the wider community. It helps physical health, mental health and our sense of freedom. We provide transport and disability support workers to keep you out and about in your local community.
So that you can connect with your friends, family and therapies outside your home. Your NDIS plan sets out the community access support you need. We consult with you on your NDIS Plan and make sure that the service we provide meets your goals. We help with:

Read Amy’s Story
Amy is a support worker in our Bendigo branch.
What are your favourite parts of the job?
I love working within the disability field. My favourite part about this job is that really isn’t so much a job because when you find something you love, it becomes a passion. I love to help those in need whether it’s by a little or a lot. I love the rewarding feeling I get knowing that I have put smiles on their faces, making them laugh or even when they thank me for my help. I love the people I work with, listening to their stories and their past. I love that every day is a different day, there are no two days the same and this is what motivates me.
What do you get out of the shifts you work?
I work with a variety of disabilities. Each person and shift are completely different. What I get out of these shifts is knowing I have done my very best with the time I had with them to be able to help and make everyone feel like they get to experience a life they deserve. I love the opportunity I get to work each shift I can as I know I am making a real difference in people’s lives. It’s a way for me to help those with disabilities to gain independence in their lives and feel part of their community.
have a question about our Community Access Services?
Here are some of the questions we are often asked. Everyone has unique needs, so please contact us with your questions.
Does the community activity need to be an NDIS Goal?
Yes. If you want to use NDIS funding to support your activity, it must be aligned with your NDIS goals. We can work with your support coordinator and NDIS plan manager to work out which bucket of your NDIS funding is most appropriate.
What are your transport rates?
We believe that all people have a right to community access. We aim to keep our fees reasonable for the level of transport we provide. As a registered NDIS provider, we publish our transport prices . And they are also available in hard copy on request. Contact us if you would like a copy.
What kind of NDIS transport can you provide?
We discuss your support needs with you and work out what level of accessible transport you need. We can provide from standard cars to wheelchair-accessible vehicles. So that you feel safe and secure in your travel with us. Our support workers all have the appropriate licences and training to get you safely to your destination.
Can you support me on holiday?
Yes. Everyone has the right to a holiday. And some of us need support to achieve that. Where it’s part of your NDIS goals, we can provide a disability support worker to support your holiday. We can help you go on holiday locally, regionally, interstate – and even internationally.
