Wheelchair Accessible Taxi

Stay in your own chair, anchored on four-point tie-downs, from your front door to the destination door. Certified ramps and hoists, drivers held to the national wheelchair-restraint competency, and a vehicle reserved for your booking rather than dispatched from the nearest rank.

Disability Taxi

For passengers who need patience more than they need a ramp. A held booking, a driver who walks you to the door instead of the kerb, and PTSS processed on the spot, whether or not you travel seated in a wheelchair.

NDIS Transport

Transport that clears your plan manager first time. Self-managed and plan-managed participants handled, itemised to the line, with standing weekly bookings for work, study, therapy and day programmes in a wheelchair accessible vehicle with certified ramps and restraints.

Medical Appointment Transport

Booked around the appointment time, not the traffic. Agreed meeting points at Sir Charles Gairdner, St John of God Subiaco and Midland, Joondalup Health Campus and Osborne Park Hospital, with your chair secured properly and a driver who waits when discharge runs late.

Rehabilitation & Therapy Transport

The same driver, the same time, every week, so getting to therapy stops being the hard part of therapy. Standing bookings to physiotherapy, occupational therapy, hydrotherapy and day programmes across Perth, set up once and never rebooked again.

Aged Care Transport

Door through door, not kerb to kerb. An arm down the front steps, the shopping carried in, and a driver who has allowed enough time that nobody has to hurry, whether you use a walking frame or a powerchair.

OUR STORY

Balcatta Is a Rehabilitation Suburb

Almost everything about our work in Balcatta follows from what sits immediately to its south. Osborne Park Hospital provides stroke rehabilitation inpatient services alongside aged care and rehabilitation, and rehabilitation is by its nature repetitive: people attend weekly or more often, for months, and the trip has to be dependable rather than merely available. That makes rehabilitation and therapy transport the backbone of what we do here, usually as standing weekly bookings rather than one-off fares. It also changes what matters in a driver.

Somebody recovering from a stroke may find transfers slower and more effortful than they were a year ago, and a driver who visibly hurries them makes the whole week harder. We were set up specifically to remove that pressure, because our bookings are held rather than squeezed between other jobs. Call 0483 926 000.

HOW WE WORK IN Balcatta

The Two Balcattas and Why They Load Differently

Balcatta was mainly market gardens until the 1960s, and both residential and industrial development arrived from the 1970s onwards, which has left a suburb of two quite different characters sharing a postcode. The residential streets are typical of that era: modest homes on regular blocks, commonly with two or three steps up to a front entry and no ramp ever fitted, and crossovers that were poured for a sedan rather than a long-wheelbase vehicle with a rear ramp. The industrial roads are a different proposition entirely, carrying heavy vehicles, offering fewer kerb ramps and giving very little safe space to set a ramp down, which matters if your workplace, programme or appointment is on one of them.

Our approach is simply to nominate the pickup point in advance, often a side street or a car park rather than the frontage itself. The short distance to Osborne Park Hospital is the redeeming feature, and it makes medical appointment transport from Balcatta one of the more straightforward runs we do.

Why choose us in Balcatta

Why Balcatta Passengers Stay With Us

Repeat trips expose an unreliable operator fast, which is exactly why rehabilitation passengers tend to settle with one service and stay. Your booking is held against a specific vehicle and driver rather than released into a dispatch pool, so the arrangement you set up in March is still running in September. We roster for the same driver on standing bookings wherever leave allows, because a driver who already knows your crossover and how long your transfer takes will get you to a session calmly.

Every driver holds a current Western Australian passenger transport driver authorisation, is background-checked, and must undergo special courses and trainings, which are reviewed and upgraded on a regular basis. Our wheelchair accessible taxi vehicles carry certified ramp and hoist systems with four-point restraints. Call 0483 926 000.

AREAS WE COVER IN Balcatta

The Balcatta Neighbourhoods We Serve

We collect across the whole suburb, and the practical distinction is residential versus industrial rather than one estate versus another. The residential pockets north and east of the main roads are the easiest work: quiet streets, room to manoeuvre and enough kerb space to deploy a ramp without drama. The industrial areas that grew from the 1970s need the approach agreed in advance, and we will usually nominate a quieter adjacent street.

Because Balcatta sits inside the City of Stirling alongside Osborne Park, Karrinyup, Yokine and Dianella, a great many of our trips run between these suburbs rather than into the city, particularly the short hops to Osborne Park Hospital. If your street sits on the boundary with a neighbouring suburb, call 0483 926 000 and we will confirm coverage on the spot.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know about our Wheelchair Accessible Transport In Balcatta

How much does a disability taxi cost in Balcatta?

Short local trips are where the PTSS subsidy does its best work, and Balcatta trips are mostly short. A purple PTSS card covers 75% of the fare up to a $35 subsidy per trip when you travel seated in your wheelchair, and a yellow card covers 50% up to $25, which on a run down to Osborne Park Hospital usually leaves a small gap rather than a real fare. Paper TUSS vouchers stopped being accepted on 1 October 2025, so if you still have a book of them you need the card instead. For longer private bookings we quote the job before you travel. Call 0483 926 000.

Can you take me to stroke rehabilitation at Osborne Park Hospital?

Yes, and it is one of the most frequent runs we do out of Balcatta. Osborne Park Hospital provides stroke rehabilitation inpatient services along with aged care and rehabilitation, and outpatient rehabilitation attendance is typically weekly or more often, which makes it ideal for a standing booking. Setting it up as a standing arrangement means the slot is held for you permanently rather than rebooked every week, and your access notes travel with it. After a stroke, transfers and loading often take longer than they used to, so we allow the time rather than rushing you. Call 0483 926 000 to set one up.

Are Balcatta's industrial streets a problem for a wheelchair pickup?

They can be, which is why we agree the point beforehand. Balcatta's industrial areas grew alongside its residential streets from the 1970s, and the roads through them carry heavier vehicles, have fewer kerb ramps and offer less safe space to deploy a ramp than a quiet residential street. If you work, attend a programme or have an appointment on one of those roads, we will find a side street or a car park that gives the vehicle clear space rather than loading you at a busy verge. Tell us the exact address when you book and we will sort out the approach in advance.

Do you cover Stirling, Gwelup and Osborne Park too?

Yes, and Balcatta sits in the middle of that group so the trips overlap constantly. Osborne Park is on our regular list because of the hospital, and we run to and from the surrounding City of Stirling suburbs as a matter of course. Our published suburb list is where we work most often, not a fence. If your address is nearby but not named on this site, call 0483 926 000 and we will tell you immediately rather than leaving you to guess.

Do you help older passengers with front steps in Balcatta?

Yes, and Balcatta's older residential stock makes it a regular part of the job. Homes built as the suburb moved from market gardens to residential from the 1970s commonly have stepped entries with no ramp ever retrofitted, which is fine until a walking frame enters the picture. Your driver will come to the door, offer an arm or steady the frame, stow it properly rather than throwing it in, and carry shopping through to the kitchen. What we will not do is a physical lift or a hoist transfer at your home, because that is a manual handling task for a support worker or an occupational therapist to arrange.

Can I book a regular weekly trip from Balcatta?

Yes, and given how much of our Balcatta work is rehabilitation and therapy, standing bookings are the norm here rather than the exception. You give us the day, the time and the destination once and the slot stays yours without rebooking. If a week needs skipping for illness or a holiday, you tell us and we release that week alone. If your therapy time changes at a review, one call moves the whole arrangement. Call 0483 926 000.
