Being homebound can affect confidence, mental well-being, and overall quality of life. NDIS participants and older Australians may face barriers to leaving home, from vehicles that aren’t accessible to a lack of reliable transport options.

Every person has unique mobility requirements. NDIS participants and older Australians may use different wheelchairs, assistive devices, or require varying levels of support during travel.

Shopping, medical appointments, meeting friends, or attending leisure activities are everyday tasks that many people take for granted. But for people relying on wheelchair accessible community transport, even small trips can require careful planning and the right vehicle.

Being able to access local community activities supports independence, confidence, and mental well-being. For NDIS participants and older Australians, having reliable transport makes it possible to take part in clubs, classes, social groups, and other activities that many able-bodied people take for granted.
