Show your community you care about its accessibility needs
Travellers Aid is your go-to social procurement supplier to ensure accessible travel and business interactions for every customer.
For more than 100 years, Travellers Aid has assisted people in getting where they need to be. We have the experience and reputation to guide organisations that want to ensure accessible interactions for every customer.
Choosing Travellers Aid means choosing a supplier that contributes to social good.
More and more, customers are choosing businesses and services that align with their desire to create a fairer and more sustainable world. Governments have also recognised this through their social procurement policies; prioritising suppliers that contribute to social good.
Travellers Aid ticks the social good box by helping people who face mobility challenges or who are travel disadvantaged. We support people to get out into communities and social settings; to be where they want or need to be.
By partnering with us, your business can extend these benefits to its customers, too.
Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians currently lives with a disability?

In addition, our increasingly ageing population will develop age-related disabilities over time. But this does not mean life has to stop!
Imagine a society where people with limited mobility are treated with dignity and respect, able to enjoy full and rich lives with confidence.
Travellers Aid exists to empower and enable people who face travel-related challenges. Through partnerships with business we help organisations ensure everyone has an opportunity to connect, engage and participate in their community at public events and private venues – big and small.
We currently work with:
City of Melbourne in various locations across the city, including at flagship and popup events and at major tourist attractions,
Victorian public transport authorities, including providing assistance at disruption sites during transport infrastructure works, and
Major event organisers, meeting their customers at public transport stops and bringing them to the gates of the event. We also assist throughout the event where required. Learn more about our Events Assistance service.
We are agile, consultative, and quick to market. Travellers Aid provides teams of trained, experienced, and professional staff to support your business, your project, or your event to be accessible, inclusive, and even more successful.
Short-term, long-term, simple or complex.
It’s all possible when you work with Travellers Aid.
Travellers Aid has built its reputation as a solutions-focused organisation. We work with you to find the best solution based on the limitations of your business site or event location, allowing you to support people facing mobility challenges when and where needed.
Our people are trained, experienced and passionate about what they do. They are the friendly face, the guiding hand, the calming presence that help make everyday activities possible for your customer or client.
Travelling on Melbourne’s tram network isn’t the same for everyone, which is why the Travellers Aid partnership has played an important role in connecting all our passengers with place and community.
