Great Community Transport - Providers of special care transport assistance

National Volunteer Week

In National Volunteer Week we say thank you to every single one of Great Community Transport’s 130 committed volunteers. We greatly value your diverse range of skills and experiences. The work you do – from driving and bus caring to administration and office reception – is crucial support to people who most need it.

You all make a vital contribution to our service, and without you many of our clients would miss out on transport, which is essential for their independence. Thank you for your tireless and selfless contribution to make Penrith and the Blue Mountains better places to live.

Every volunteer has something important to give to our community. If you’re not a volunteer of Great Community Transport, but you’re interested in becoming one, please call Sharon on 4759 2403.

We provide transport assistance to people of all ages, including the frail, elderly, people with disabilities - young or old, or with special needs, including wheelchairs and their carers. Also some short term assistance to health related appointments is available for people who are temporarily "transport disadvantaged". Our service extends to residents of the Blue Mountains and Penrith Local Government Areas. We can help you.

Need help with transport to your oncology treatments?

Great Community Transport can help you.

Great Community Transport has dedicated oncology cars that can help you and your carer get to and from your cancer treatments. If transport to your treatment is a problem, then we may be able to help. Transport is door to door in comfortable vehicles. You are welcome to have a friend or relative to accompany you, just ask us at the time of booking.

To find out how we can help you, simply ring the Penrith office on 4722 3083 or Mountains office 4759 2403 and one of our friendly volunteers will be able to assist you with more information.
