Transportation is an extremely important issue for people living with disabilities. People living with disabilities have consistently described how transportation barriers affect their lives in important ways. At JM Paramount Health Services, we make sure that accessible transport becomes the rule for every individual. We strive to assist people who have trouble accessing transport options to get around their community.
NDIS participants who need help getting from one place to another can benefit from transport assistance services. As its name suggests, transport assistance can help you get to your destination either by bus, taxi, private cars, or specialised vehicles. This is a safe way to carry out tasks and activities that involve leaving the house, such as attending medical appointments, shopping for groceries, participating in social gatherings with friends and relatives, or going to the movies. You can choose from various types of transport assistance services:
- Private transport assistance - to book a taxi or a specially customised vehicle to pick you up at your location and drop you off at your destination.
- Community transport assistance - it accommodates multiple passengers, and comprises of vans or buses with wheelchair-access features.
- Public transport assistance - you’ll be accompanied by a social carer or support worker as you travel by train or public bus.
- Shared transport assistance - this option is also a great way to meet other participants and go to social events together.
