Transport Service

Carinya Society has a small fleet of vehicles that provide limited transport to and from home, on a fee for service basis, for some Carinya Participants who utilise various Carinya services on a regular basis.  All vehicles are safety checked, regularly serviced and driven by qualified drivers.  The vehicles are all fully air conditioned, fitted with seatbelts, first aid kits and fire extinguishers.

For those participants who require specialist transport in wheelchair accessible vehicles, Carinya also arranges for several regular accessible taxi runs to occur, so that participants are in taxi’s that utilise regular drivers to ensure participants are transported by a familiar face.

Both of these services are co-ordinated through the Carinya Administration Office.

Our Drivers: Carinya has 5 regular bus drivers all of whom have undertaken training to ensure the safety of participants.  All drivers have access to ongoing training and are required to hold a level 2 first aid qualification, Police Check and other statutory screening checks.

Eligibility:

• The Participant must live within the catchment areas that the buses operate in.
• The participant must be able to travel on Carinya transport without support/assistance in transit.
• Availability of seats on the bus.

Participants are required to be ready 5 mins prior to pick up from their home and must be greeted by families/carers on drop off unless alternative arrangements have been made.
