Transport Support

Safe, Respectful Transport Support That Helps You Stay Connected. Getting to appointments, work, study, social activities or community events should not be a barrier to living the life you want. At Oasis Care & Support, our Transport Support supports NDIS participants to travel safely and comfortably while maintaining independence and staying connected to the people, places and activities that matter to them. Whether you need assistance travelling to an appointment, participating in community activities or accessing work, study or other important commitments, support can be arranged around your individual requirements, preferences and agreed support arrangements.

What Is Transport Support?

Transport Support can help participants access important appointments, activities and community destinations when they require support with travel.
Reliable transport can play an important role in maintaining independence, participating in community life and working towards personal goals.
At Oasis Care & Support, Transport Support is about more than travelling from one place to another. It can provide practical support that helps participants access the places and activities that are important to them.
Every participant has different transport requirements. Support can therefore be considered around individual needs, mobility, preferences, schedule and goals.
