Point to Point Community Transportation

This bookable transportation around Douglas Shire and beyond is currently funded for those under 65 years of age who need help with transport due to barriers such as geographic isolation, financial hardship, disability, or chronic health conditions.

Our volunteers can take you anywhere within the Douglas Shire or even as far as Cairns. A gold coin donation is appreciated but not essential. We do require at least 24 hours notice.


Our Community Transport program can help you with transport for:

  • Medical appointments.
  • Shopping and daily tasks.
  • Social and recreational activities.
  • Volunteering opportunities.

I have had the opportunity to attend 3 Seniors Adventures and thoroughly enjoyed these outings.
Joining like-minded adventurers to a variety of locations further afield, making new friends, sharing stories and appreciating our region has such positive social benefits. We have plenty of fun, delighted with our included lunch and ease of safe transport.
