Finding comfortable, safe, and dependable disability transport shouldn't be a challenge.

We take pride in delivering a specialised transport experience that prioritises your comfort, dignity, and independence every single step of the way. Our purpose-built, fully accredited WAVs (Wheelchair accessible vehicles) are meticulously equipped with advanced hydraulic hoists, and secure four-point restraint systems, ensuring a smooth ride without ever requiring you to transfer out of your wheelchair.
At the heart of our service is a dedicated team of professionally trained, empathetic drivers who understand the nuances of assisted travel. Serving Subiaco and the surrounding communities north of the river, we provide unmatched local expertise and exceptional punctuality. We believe that premium specialised transit should remain highly affordable, which is why we offer completely transparent pricing and zero hidden fees.

Experience the difference of a local transport provider that truly cares - use our banner form above to secure your Subiaco accessible taxi booking today.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
A Hospital From 1898 in a Suburb Built for Horses
St John of God Subiaco Hospital at 12 Salvado Road was founded in 1898, and it now operates around 600 beds with roughly 1,200 specialists practising across it, which makes it one of the two destinations that dominate our appointment work along with the Nedlands campuses. The difficulty is that a hospital of that scale sits inside a suburb whose street pattern was set long before anyone designed for vehicles, let alone for a long-wheelbase vehicle deploying a rear ramp. Subiaco is dense, busy through the day and evening, short of unrestricted kerb space, and heavily parked, so the gap between where a driver would like to stop and where a driver can actually stop is wider here than anywhere else we work.
For a passenger, that gap translates directly into distance pushed, and distance pushed is the thing that turns an appointment into an ordeal. This is why medical appointment transport into Subiaco is planned around the entrance rather than the address. Call 0483 926 000.
HOW WE WORK IN Subiaco
Why Kerbside Access Here Is the Hardest in Our Range
Three separate pressures converge on Subiaco's kerbs and each of them removes options. The first is the pre-war street layout, which gave many properties no off-street parking at all and left verges too narrow to take a ramp, so the frontage is often unusable even when it is empty. The second is demand, since metered bays, resident permits and steady commercial activity keep the available space occupied for most of the day, which means the spot that worked last Tuesday may be gone this Tuesday.
The third is traffic volume, because deploying a ramp needs clear level ground behind the vehicle and a driver will not set one down into moving traffic regardless of how close it would put you to the door. What survives all three is the same thing that rescues North Perth: rear rights-of-way where they exist, shared driveways, and nominated points a short distance along a quieter side street.
At the hospital end, the equivalent decision is which entrance, since on a site of this size the difference between the right door and a convenient one is a few hundred metres that a tired passenger in a chair feels acutely. We ask for the department name at booking for exactly that reason, and for anything repeating we set it up as rehabilitation and therapy transport with the entrance already on file.
Why choose us in Subiaco
Why Passengers Book Us Into Subiaco
An appointment at a hospital like this one has usually been waited for, and a transport failure on the day costs far more than the fare. Your booking is held against a specific vehicle and driver instead of being released into a dispatch pool where it can be dropped for something longer, so the vehicle promised is the vehicle that arrives. Drivers hold a current Western Australian passenger transport driver authorisation, an annual approval requiring a driver's licence held for at least three years and ongoing police and justice conviction checks, and every driver is background-checked.
Where a wheelchair is travelling, the driver must undergo special courses and trainings, which are reviewed and upgraded on a regular basis, and our wheelchair accessible taxi vehicles carry certified ramp and hoist systems with four-point tie-downs so you stay in your own chair through a long inbound trip. On return legs we work from your actual call rather than an optimistic estimate, and we do not charge you for a driver waiting. Call 0483 926 000.
AREAS WE COVER IN Subiaco
The Subiaco Entrances and Streets We Use
Our Subiaco knowledge is mostly about entrances and exceptions. At the hospital on Salvado Road we work from the entrance closest to the department you have named, and for a course of treatment that point is settled at the first visit and reused. In the residential streets, we rely on rear rights-of-way where a block has one, shared driveways where access is agreed, and nominated points on quieter adjacent streets where the frontage is unworkable. The busiest commercial stretches are approached from a side street rather than the main frontage, on the same principle we apply to Osborne Park's commercial roads.
Because St John of God Subiaco and Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Nedlands sit close together and are frequently confused by people attending for the first time, we confirm which one you actually need at booking. Most of our Subiaco trips begin somewhere else entirely, in North Perth, Yokine, Dianella, Morley or the outer north-east, and we plan the whole run around the appointment. Call 0483 926 000.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know about our Wheelchair Accessible Transport In Subiaco
What does wheelchair accessible transport to St John of God Subiaco cost?
It depends on where your trip starts, since Subiaco sits on the western side of the city and most of our passengers travel in from the north or north-east. Metered fares run on the standard Western Australian on-demand structure, and a purple PTSS card covers 75% of the fare up to a $35 subsidy per trip while a yellow card covers 50% up to $25. From the inner north the subsidy takes out most of the fare; from Aveley, Brabham or Wanneroo the run is long enough to reach the cap and leave a balance. Call 0483 926 000 with your suburb and we will estimate the actual trip.
Where will the driver drop me at the hospital on Salvado Road?
We agree this before the day, and on this site it genuinely matters. St John of God Subiaco is a large hospital of around 600 beds with roughly 1,200 specialists working across it, so the clinic or ward you are heading for determines which entrance leaves you the shortest distance. The surrounding streets are congested and the kerb closest to a given door is frequently unusable for a rear ramp, whether because of metered bays, a lack of level run-off or continuous traffic. Tell us the department name at booking and your driver will choose the entrance rather than improvising on arrival.
I am having a day procedure. Can you take me in and bring me home?
That is a common booking for us and the outbound leg is the easy half. The return is where planning matters, because procedures, recovery and discharge paperwork rarely finish at the hour anyone predicts, so a rigid pickup time either has a vehicle waiting or has it gone by the time you are ready. The better arrangement is to book the trip in, then call us when you are genuinely cleared to leave, and we will come back. We will not run a meter on a driver sitting in a car park waiting for you, because surprise waiting charges are one of the things passengers most often tell us went wrong elsewhere.
Parking near my street in Subiaco is impossible. How will you collect me?
By agreeing a workable point in advance rather than circling while you wait at the door. Subiaco's pre-war streets were laid out without off-street parking for many properties, and the combination of metered bays, resident permits and steady all-day demand means the kerb outside your address is usually occupied. Depending on the block, the answer may be a rear right-of-way, a shared driveway, a side street a short way along, or a timed bay used briefly with the driver present. We work it out at the first booking and store it, so it is solved once rather than every trip.
How early should I leave for a morning appointment at Subiaco?
Earlier than the map suggests, particularly if you are coming from the outer north or north-east, because the run is inbound at the busiest part of the morning and the last few hundred metres through Subiaco itself are often the slowest of the whole journey. We book backwards from the appointment time and add your genuine loading time rather than a standard allowance. If your appointment is at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Nedlands instead, tell us, because although the two are close together they are separate destinations with entirely different approaches.
Do you cover Nedlands, Shenton Park and the western suburbs generally?
Nedlands is on our regular list and we run between it and Subiaco constantly, since Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and St John of God Subiaco between them account for a large share of the specialist appointments our passengers attend. A hospital run into the western suburbs is daily work for us regardless of which side of a boundary your address falls. Call 0483 926 000 and we will confirm your street straight away.
