Important Non-Emergency Service Information
This service is for planned medical, treatment and care-related travel. It is not an ambulance, stretcher service or clinical monitoring provider.
Passenger Stability
The passenger should be stable enough to travel safely by taxi, with or without a family member, carer or support worker.
Medical Emergencies
For chest pain, breathing trouble, heavy bleeding, serious injury, sudden collapse or life-threatening symptoms, contact emergency services.
Non-Emergency Patient Transport for Medical Travel
Patient transport requires more planning than a standard local ride because the passenger may need extra time, mobility space, support items or a carer seat.
- Book therapy, rehabilitation and treatment visits
- Arrange aged-care, disability support and clinic travel
- Plan one-way, return and recurring journeys
- Request extra boarding time or an accessible vehicle
Clear booking details help match the pickup time, route and vehicle to the passenger’s mobility and comfort needs.
For planned health-related travel, pre-booking gives more time to arrange the correct vehicle and pickup notes.
Who Can Use the Patient Transport Service?
This service helps passengers who can travel safely by taxi but need a more carefully planned journey.
Elderly Passengers
Arrange direct travel without driving, hospital parking or long walks from public transport and car parks.
People With Limited Mobility
