Travel & Transport
Helping people overcome transport-related barriers and develop the confidence and skills needed to travel more safely and independently.
Opening pathways to greater independence—helping people travel, connect and participate with confidence.
Assistance with Travel & Transport
At Good Works Disability Services (GWDS), we believe that access to safe and reliable transport plays an important role in helping people live independently, participate in their community and pursue the activities that are meaningful to them.
Our Assistance with Travel and Transport supports people with disability to overcome transport-related barriers and develop greater confidence, skills and independence in accessing the community.

Building Confidence and Independence
At GWDS, our focus is not simply on getting from one place to another. We aim to help each person develop the confidence and skills to participate more independently in their community.
Where appropriate, we encourage people to take an active role in planning their journeys, making decisions and learning how to use available transport options. Our support can be gradually adjusted as a person's confidence and independence develop.
Person-Centred Support
Every person's transport needs are different. We take the time to understand what is important to each individual and provide support that respects their choices, dignity, safety and independence.
Whether someone is learning a new route, accessing a community activity, attending an appointment or developing the confidence to use public transport, we walk alongside them at their own pace.
Love in Action. Truth in Everything We Do.
