Need a Lift?

Christmas & New Year Office Closure: The PTA office is closed for the Christmas and New Year period.  Any bookings submitted will not be processed until we reopen on 13 January 2025.

Volunteers use their own cars to drive customers to a wide range of Melbourne destinations, such as medical appointments, metropolitan hospitals, shopping centres, aged and disability services and airports. We ensure –

Safety – All volunteers are police checked and have completed a driving assessment through an independent driving instructor. All vehicles are assessed and must meet minimum safety standards.

Assistance – Our trained volunteers provide door to door service. If required, volunteers can stay with the customer and provide basic assistance, such as pushing a person’s wheelchair

Reliability – Volunteers are always on time, they phone the customer the night before to confirm the appointment time, parking arrangements and any support requirements

This service is available to all residents and to community organisations within the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region.

Volunteers drivers give their time for free and unlike a Taxi service PTA does not charge for time.

Our mileage price covers the volunteer driver’s costs and service administration.
