Access to reliable transport is vital for maintaining independence and well-being, especially as we age. In this video, we explore the transport options available to older Australians, including community transport services, taxi vouchers, and how to leverage home care packages for mobility support.
We’ll also share a touching story of a group of taxi drivers going above and beyond to help dialysis patients return home safely, free of charge. These everyday heroes embody the Australian spirit, and we salute them. 🇦🇺❤️
Whether you're looking for solutions for yourself, a loved one, or someone in your care, this video is packed with actionable tips and resources to help you stay mobile and connected.
