People's use of transport and the way it is paid for varies. Some people are able to walk, use public transport, or drive themselves. Some of the people we support pay for their own public transport, and some local bodies make subsidies available. IDEA Services ensures service users in full-time residential (living) support services can get to school or their vocational or day option service placement and to other health-related appointments, such as the doctor or dentist.

Not all transport costs are fully-funded such as for recreational use, out of town trips or to go on holidays.

All drivers undergo a driver orientation and must have a current driver’s licence. We have safety rules staff and caregivers must follow.
