St. John Ambulance offers transport options in regional Queensland

Do you know of someone who is unable to access their community due to a lack of transport? Did you know St. John Ambulance delivers such a service? They just might be your solution!

St. John Ambulance receives funding from the Queensland Government to provide subsidised community transport to people aged under 65 who are transport disadvantaged due to geographic location, financial disadvantage, disability, mental health conditions or other chronic health conditions.

Perhaps you know someone who has:

• A disability and are not eligible for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
• An NDIS plan that does not include transport
• An NDIS plan where the purpose for their transport need is different to that specified in their NDIS plan
• An NDIS plan but the participant has exhausted all of their transport funding
• A chronic illness, mental illness or other condition

Then let St. John’s Transport Services come to your rescue.
