Aboriginal Transport

     


Aboriginal Community Transport Program

Transport is a key factor in developing the economics of Aboriginal Communities.  Mobility linkages allow people to seek and hold jobs, attend education and training, access Health Care and essential services and fully participate in community life.

Phone: 02 6628 0260

Provides affordable and reliable transport services to community groups and individuals
from the Lismore, Kyogle, Woodenbong/ Muli Muli, Casino, Coraki/ Box Ridge, Bonalbo, Tabulam and Nimbin in Northern NSW Australia.


Who can use this service?

Transport is available to people who cannot use public transport, or do not have access to private transport provided by relatives or friends. Priority is given to assisting orginisations that provide services to members of the HACC target group. Those in Isolated areas will also be looked at as a priority.
First priority is given to the members of the Home and Community Care Program (HACC) target group: older people and people with disabilities, and their carers, who live independently in the community.
