About the business

We provide Community Transport in Sydney's vibrant inner west.

Community Transport is a door-to-door transportation service provided in cars and small buses.

We help people stay independent and live an active life in their local community by providing safe and reliable transport services.

We assist older people and people with disability who need help getting out and about.

Our services include door - to - door shopping, personal and medical transport well as group social outings. We also provide transport services and drivers for other community organisations.

We offer a service that is inclusive and welcoming. Our staff and clients celebrate the diversity of the Inner West in all its forms including cultural diversity, religious diversity, sexual orientation and gender identity.

Helping people get where they need to go.

The majority of our clients are female and we are looking to increase our number of female drivers in response to client feedback. On that basis, female applicants are most welcome to apply.
