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

The Suburb Where the Destination Is the Difficult Part

Most of the suburbs we cover present their problems at the front door, and Karrinyup is the one that reverses that. Its shopping centre functions as the practical hub for this part of the City of Stirling, drawing in appointments, allied health, banking and the ordinary errands that keep somebody connected to their own life rather than stuck at home. That makes it a destination we visit constantly, and it is genuinely awkward to unload a wheelchair at unless the approach has been thought about in advance. The residential side is more familiar: Karrinyup belongs to the belt built out between the late 1960s and the 1980s, and a large proportion of the people who bought in when the houses were new are still living in them decades later.

That combination produces a specific kind of work here, weighted toward aged care transport and short local outings rather than long cross-city runs. Short fares are exactly the ones other operators quietly decline, and they are the ones we built the business around. Call 0483 926 000.

HOW WE WORK IN Karrinyup

Drop-Off Geometry at a Covered Centre

A large covered shopping centre presents three separate problems to an accessible vehicle, and none of them is obvious until you are sitting in the car park. The first is height, because multi-level parking carries a clearance limit that a raised-roof vehicle cannot always pass, which rules out the undercover bays that look most convenient in the rain. The second is the drop-off zone itself, since timed bays are designed for a passenger stepping out of a sedan in fifteen seconds rather than a rear ramp deploying, a chair being unloaded and restraints being unclipped.

The third is internal distance, because the door closest to the kerb is frequently a long push from the shop, clinic or bank you actually came for, and a chair user pays for that distance in a way a walking shopper does not. The workable answer is to ask where you are genuinely heading and choose the entrance accordingly, even when that means driving past a nearer door.

Karrinyup's residential streets add the familiar late-1960s to 1980s difficulties on top: sloping blocks, stepped entries and crossovers that fall away toward the road, where a ramp cannot safely be set down. For anything medical, medical appointment transport south to Osborne Park Hospital is a short and reliable run.

Why choose us in Karrinyup

What Karrinyup Households Get From Us

The complaint we hear most in this part of Stirling is not about fares, it is about being treated as a nuisance for wanting a four-kilometre trip. Because our bookings are committed to a specific vehicle and driver rather than auctioned into a dispatch pool, nobody has any incentive to drop yours for something longer, and a run to the shopping centre is handled exactly like a run across the city. Drivers hold a current Western Australian passenger transport driver authorisation, are 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 tie-downs, so you stay in your own chair rather than transferring twice for a short trip.

Drivers speak to the passenger rather than over them to a carer, which sounds like a small thing and is the reason a lot of our older passengers stopped using anyone else. PTSS cards are processed on the spot. Call 0483 926 000.

AREAS WE COVER IN Karrinyup

The Karrinyup Streets and Destinations We Serve

Our Karrinyup work divides fairly cleanly between homes and the centre. The residential streets, largely built out from the late 1960s through the 1980s, are where the sloping blocks and steep crossovers sit, and they are the addresses where we most often agree a loading point on the flatter part of the road rather than the driveway. Mature verge planting from that era has produced substantial canopies and, in places, lifted footpath slabs that make a footpath approach unreliable for a chair. At the shopping centre we work from the ground-level drop-off rather than the covered parking, and we choose the entrance by where you are actually going.

Because Karrinyup sits inside the City of Stirling alongside Balcatta, Osborne Park, Yokine and Dianella, a large share of our trips run between these suburbs rather than into the city, particularly the short hops to Osborne Park Hospital. We also run north into Duncraig, Greenwood and Warwick as a matter of routine. If your street sits on a boundary, call 0483 926 000 and we will confirm on the spot.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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

What does a wheelchair taxi cost in Karrinyup?

Metered fares run on the standard Western Australian on-demand structure, and the PTSS subsidy then does most of the work on a short trip. A purple wheelchair card covers 75% of the fare up to a $35 subsidy per trip while a yellow card covers 50% up to $25, applied by the driver at the end of the journey. Karrinyup trips are mostly short, whether that is a run to the shopping centre, a local GP or across to Osborne Park Hospital, so the subsidy usually leaves a modest gap rather than a real fare. If you are still holding paper TUSS vouchers, they stopped being accepted on 1 October 2025 and you will need the card instead.

Can you drop me at the shopping centre entrance rather than the car park?

That is exactly what we plan for, and it is worth agreeing which entrance before you travel. A large covered centre has several entries at different levels, and the internal distance from a convenient-looking door to the shop you actually want can be considerable in a chair. Multi-level car parks add a height limit that a vehicle with a raised roof cannot always clear, so the ground-level drop-off is usually the right answer even when it is not the nearest one. Tell us which shops or appointments you are heading for and the driver will pick the entrance that gives you the shortest push.

My parents' 1970s home has front steps and a steep driveway. Is that a problem?

It is the standard Karrinyup situation rather than an unusual one, and it is workable once we know. Homes built here between the late 1960s and the 1980s commonly sit on blocks with a fall, have two or more steps to a front entry with a handrail on one side at best, and have crossovers that slope away toward the street. A rear ramp needs firm level ground, so on a steep crossover we will generally load from the flatter part of the road rather than the driveway. Your driver comes to the door, offers an arm or steadies a frame, and we record the arrangement so it is settled permanently.

How much notice do you need for a booking in Karrinyup?

For a regular weekday trip, a day or two is comfortable and lets us roster the right vehicle and a driver who knows your access. For anything that matters, such as a specialist appointment, a hospital admission or a discharge, book as far ahead as you can and we will hold it against a specific vehicle. Same-day requests are worth making because we do fill them, but an accessible vehicle is not something that can be conjured at short notice the way a standard car can. Standing weekly bookings remove the question entirely.

Can you take me to Osborne Park Hospital or the medical centre in Nedlands?

Both are regular runs from Karrinyup. Osborne Park Hospital, which provides stroke rehabilitation inpatient services along with aged care and rehabilitation, is a short trip south and is where a good deal of our local therapy work goes. Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Nedlands, which shares a campus with Perth Children's Hospital, is a longer but straightforward run for specialist appointments. We book backwards from your appointment time and include your actual loading time rather than a generic allowance.

Do you cover Gwelup, Trigg and the neighbouring Stirling suburbs?

Karrinyup sits inside the City of Stirling alongside Balcatta, Osborne Park, Yokine and Dianella, all of which are on our regular list, so our vehicles move between these suburbs constantly. The published list reflects where we work most often rather than a fence around the service. If your street is nearby but not named on this site, one call settles it. Call 0483 926 000 and we will tell you immediately.
