About Us
Great Community Transport (GCT) is a Community based, charitable organisation, incorporated as an Association and managed by a Board of Management.
History
Mountains Community Transport was funded through the Home and Community Care Program (HACC) in 1986 to provide transport assistance for the frail aged, people with disabilities and their carers who lived in the Blue Mountains LGA. A year later Nepean Community Transport was funded to service the same people in the Penrith LGA. Both services have expanded and now provide assistance with shopping, medical and hospital transports, transport to centre based meals and social outings being provided by paid and volunteer workers.
Some additional funding has been received from NSW Health and Nepean, Blue Mountains local Health Network to assist those people who may be temporarily “transport disadvantaged” to their hospital appointments. Both Management Committees agreed that an amalgamation would be a beneficial step forward. On 1 July 2004 GREAT Community Transport Inc. was formed.
Vision
