Companion Service
Whether you have a mobility challenge or are unsure about using public transport, our trained companion service volunteers will be with you along the way. We’re here to support you to connect, engage, and participate in your community. Volunteer companions can meet you at a public transport hub in Melbourne or Seymour and accompany you to and from:
- Appointments
- Social activities
- Events/attractions
- Work
- School/education
Who is eligible?
Any person who is over 18 years of age, able to travel independently, walk unassisted or with the help of a walking frame, and has their own transport costs covered is eligible to use the companion service.
Operating hours
Monday to Friday, 8:30am – 6:30pm. Weekend or out-of-hours bookings may be arranged however it will depend on volunteer availability.
We prefer 72 hours’ notice for companion service bookings, however we will try our best to accommodate late notice bookings. For more information, call 1300 700 399 to speak to one of our friendly staff or book your companion service by clicking the button below.
