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.

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.
