1. Appointment time
2. Full address of destination
3. Doctors name/clinic number
4. Surgery contact telephone number
5. Also please advise how long you anticipate the appointment will be
To help avoid disappointment it is best to book more than 2 days advance whenever possible.
If transport is available you will be asked to be ready to be picked up at least half an hour before your scheduled collection time.
Going to the appointment
The driver will call you up approximately half an hour before you are due to be picked up to confirm your booking and to confirm what time you will be picked up.
Other passengers may be travelling with you. If this is the case, the driver will advise you when they call you.
The driver will take you to your destination and on arrival will give either your or the receptionist a card with a number to call when you are ready to be taken home.
You may have to wait a while for your return trip as getting people to appointments has priority over taking people home. When you call for the return trip, the driver will be able to give you an appropriate time of when they will be there.
Please note: All vehicles are smoke free zones. You are asked to refrain from smoking until you reach your destination.
Seatbelts must be worn by all passengers in all our vehicles.
Cancellations
If you are not able to make your appointment please let our Transport Co-ordinator know as soon as possible. Please phone on 9490 9500. If the phone is unattended please leave a message.

Confidentiality
When you start using the service you will be asked to supply personal information which is necessary to ensure we provide safe, appropriate service. This information is kept secure in the office and only accessed by authorised staff.
