Come with us, we’ll get you where you need to go
Community Connect Transport provides safe and reliable transport services to eligible clients, who live independently within the Lower North Shore and are unable to access mainstream transport. The service covers the NSW Local Government Areas of North Sydney, Lane Cove, Mosman and Willoughby.
Community Connect Transport offers a “point to point” service for local residents. Our service operates Monday to Friday from 8am to 4pm and provides transport to and from your destination. You can book as your circumstances require, it may be to get to an appointment (medical, non-medical or personal), visit the shops, the hairdresser, the local Community Centre or attend a social get together with family and friends.
Our clients include frail older people, people with disabilities, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, children, youth, seniors, indigenous Australians and Carers. All our vehicles are selected for ease of access and many are wheelchair accessible, enabling passengers with different levels of mobility a choice of transport.
Community Connect Transport services are funded for either older people who need assistance with daily living to keep living independently at home, or to younger people who have a permanent functional disability. For people over 65 years of age and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders over 50 years of age, the Australian Government provides transport help through MyAgedCare.
