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

Two Kinds of Caversham, Two Kinds of Pickup

Caversham sits about 15 kilometres north-east of the CBD in the City of Swan and holds roughly 7,400 people, but describing it as one suburb undersells how differently its addresses behave. New residential estates have grown here alongside the older agricultural fabric of the Swan Valley, and the suburb also carries an industrial history, with tile manufacturing established in 1953. In practice that means one booking is a narrow estate driveway with a deep garage setback, and the next is a long unsealed track behind a gate on a property laid out for farm vehicles rather than a wheelchair. Neither is a problem once it is known, and both are a problem if the driver finds out on arrival.

That is why we ask more about access here than almost anywhere else we work, and why the answers go permanently against your address. Our wheelchair accessible taxi bookings from Caversham get the approach agreed before the day. Call 0483 926 000.

HOW WE WORK IN Caversham

What the Ground Actually Does to a Ramp

A rear ramp needs firm, level ground with clear space behind the vehicle, and that requirement is what separates an easy Caversham pickup from a difficult one. On the newer estate streets the surface is fine and the constraint is space: single-width driveways, parked cars and deep setbacks that put distance between the front door and anywhere a vehicle can stop. On the older Swan Valley blocks the constraint reverses. There is usually plenty of room but the surface may be loose gravel, compacted dirt that turns soft after winter rain, or a slope running away from the house, and a ramp set down on any of those is not safe to push a powerchair up.

Gates add another step, and a driver waiting outside an unopened gate is time nobody wants to lose before an appointment. The workable answer is almost always to nominate a firm level point in advance, even if it is not the closest point to the door. For medical appointment transport, the compensation is that St John of God Midland is genuinely close, which keeps most medical runs from Caversham short.

Why choose us in Caversham

Why Caversham Residents Call Us

We are based next door in Brabham, so this is not a suburb we visit occasionally. That matters more than it sounds, because the difference between a smooth pickup and a stranded passenger here is usually knowledge of the specific driveway rather than anything else. Bookings are held against a specific vehicle and driver rather than released into a dispatch pool, so a long-planned appointment is not competing with a better fare on the morning. 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.

Vehicles carry certified ramp and hoist systems with four-point tie-downs so you stay in your own chair. PTSS cards are processed on the spot and NDIS transport is invoiced itemised for plan managers. Call 0483 926 000.

AREAS WE COVER IN Caversham

The Caversham Neighbourhoods We Serve

Our Caversham work splits along the same line the suburb does. The newer residential estates in the west and south of the suburb are conventional estate pickups: narrow lots, single-width driveways, and a pickup point best agreed in advance. The older Swan Valley properties along the eastern side are the ones where surface and gates decide everything, and where we will often nominate a firm point some distance from the door.

The industrial pocket, which traces back to the tile manufacturing established in 1953, needs the approach agreed like Balcatta's does. Because Caversham shares a postcode and a boundary with Brabham, our own base, we cross between the two continuously, and we run regularly into the neighbouring City of Swan suburbs. If your road carries a Swan Valley address that could belong to either suburb, call 0483 926 000 and we will sort it out immediately.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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

What does wheelchair accessible transport cost in Caversham?

Metered trips run on the standard Western Australian on-demand fare structure, and the subsidy usually decides what you actually pay. 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. On a local run from Brabham to the medical centre at the Everglades Avenue town centre, that subsidy absorbs most of the fare. A cross-city trip to Nedlands is long enough that the cap gets reached and the balance above it is yours, so ask for the estimate first. Call 0483 926 000.

Can you reach a rural property on an unsealed driveway in Caversham?

Usually yes, but the pickup point is worth agreeing before the day rather than working it out with you waiting at the door. Brabham's estate blocks are narrow, and a single-width driveway with a car already on it leaves nowhere to deploy a rear ramp safely. Cul-de-sac heads are often the better option because there is room to manoeuvre and set the ramp down on level ground. Your driver will tell you honestly if the kerb outside is a safer bet than the driveway. We store the answer against your address so it is only sorted out once.

How close is Caversham to a hospital?

It depends entirely which hospital, and this is the thing Brabham residents most often underestimate. St John of God Midland is the closest hospital precinct and a relatively short run. Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Nedlands, which shares a campus with Perth Children's Hospital, is a long cross-city trip and needs a genuinely early departure for a morning clinic. Joondalup Health Campus is a substantial run north. We book backwards from your appointment time and factor in your loading time rather than working off a map estimate.

Do you cover West Swan, Dayton and Brabham as well?

Yes, we work right across this pocket of the City of Swan and Brabham sits in the middle of it. Whiteman Park station has a 900-bay car park and a roughly 25-minute run to the CBD, which is genuinely useful if you can manage a station, but a platform is not a clinic door and the walk at either end is exactly what many of our passengers cannot do. That is why we still get a lot of calls from streets within sight of the line. If your address sits just outside the suburbs listed on this site, call and ask rather than assuming. Call 0483 926 000.

Do you carry older passengers from the older Caversham properties?

Yes, and Brabham has a younger population than most of the suburbs we cover, so a good share of our local work is participants heading to school, therapy and day programmes. We handle self-managed and plan-managed plans, and we itemise invoices so plan managers can process them without sending them back. Transport sits in your Core Supports budget under Support Category 02, funded at up to $1,784 a year at Level 1, $2,472 at Level 2 and $3,456 at Level 3. Standing weekly bookings are the usual arrangement here.

Can you handle a mobility scooter from Caversham?

Yes, though scooters need a slightly different arrangement to a wheelchair because of the seating position, so tell us at booking that it is a scooter rather than a chair. Give us the approximate length, width and weight as well, since scooters vary far more than most people expect and the ramp has a safe working load we will not exceed. On Caversham's rural blocks the additional consideration is the surface, because a scooter needs firm level ground to board from just as a chair does. Once we have the details we record them and every future booking goes out with the right vehicle.
