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 Suburb That Has Aged All at Once
Yokine boomed after the Second World War and was almost fully developed by the 1970s, and that single sentence explains more about our work here than anything else we could tell you. A suburb that stopped adding housing half a century ago is a suburb where every home was built to the same assumptions, by the same methods, for the same kind of household, and where all of it has therefore aged in step. There has been little of the redevelopment that quietly modernises access in other places, so the stepped entry, the single handrail and the narrow side path are not features of the older streets, they are features of the suburb. Many of the people we collect moved in decades ago and never left, which means the house that worked perfectly at forty has become the reason they stopped going out at eighty.
Most of our Yokine bookings are therefore aged care transport, and most of them are short. We take short local fares as a matter of policy, because they are the ones the wider industry quietly avoids. Call 0483 926 000.
HOW WE WORK IN Yokine
What Post-War Housing Does at Ground Level
The access pattern in Yokine is consistent enough that we plan for it before we are told. Front entries typically involve three or four steps, with a handrail on one side if there is one at all, which is manageable with a stick and genuinely difficult with a walking frame. Side access is usually narrow, so bringing a chair around the house is rarely an option and the front is effectively the only route.
Crossovers were poured for the family sedans of the 1950s and 1960s and are narrower, and sometimes steeper, than a long-wheelbase vehicle with a deployed rear ramp requires, which means the flatter part of the road is frequently the better loading point. Verge trees planted when the streets were laid out now have canopies and root systems that have lifted footpath slabs in places, making a footpath approach unreliable for a chair and occasionally unsafe.
None of this is unusual and none of it is a barrier once it is known, which is the entire argument for agreeing the loading point at the first booking and recording it against the address. The suburb's position is the compensation, since medical appointment transport to Osborne Park Hospital is a short run and the Nedlands and Subiaco campuses are straightforward rather than daunting.
Why choose us in Yokine
Why Yokine Families Choose Us
The thing families here tell us most often is that a parent stopped accepting lifts before they stopped needing them. Somebody who has been left waiting, spoken over, or hurried up their own front steps will decline the next outing rather than risk it again, and that withdrawal is much harder to reverse than a missed appointment. Our drivers are chosen for temperament as deliberately as for skill, are background-checked, and hold a current Western Australian passenger transport driver authorisation, an annual approval requiring a driver's licence held for at least three years plus ongoing conviction checks. Because bookings are held against a specific vehicle rather than released into a dispatch pool, no driver is under pressure to rush your mother down four steps to reach a better fare.
Where a wheelchair travels, drivers undergo special courses and trainings, which are reviewed and upgraded on a regular basis, and our disability taxi vehicles carry certified ramps and hoists with four-point restraints. PTSS cards are processed at the end of the trip rather than claimed back later. Call 0483 926 000.
AREAS WE COVER IN Yokine
The Yokine Streets and Facilities We Serve
Yokine reads as a single fabric and works as several pockets. The oldest streets carry the most mature verge planting and consequently the most footpath disruption, so those are the addresses where we most often load from the road rather than the path. The streets running toward the Dianella boundary blend into post-war stock of the same vintage without any real break, which is unsurprising given Dianella was assembled in 1958 partly out of East Yokine.
Toward North Perth the housing gets older again and the access character shifts toward the narrow verges and full kerbs we deal with there. We collect from aged care and retirement accommodation within the suburb, working from designated bays where facilities have them, and we run west to Osborne Park Hospital, south-west to the Nedlands and Subiaco campuses, and between Yokine, Dianella, Morley and North Perth continuously. If your street sits on one of those boundaries, call 0483 926 000 and we will confirm immediately.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know about our Wheelchair Accessible Transport In Yokine
What does aged care transport cost in Yokine?
Yokine sits close to most of the destinations our passengers need, so trips here are short and the PTSS subsidy covers most of the cost. A yellow standard card covers 50% of the fare up to a $25 subsidy per trip while a purple wheelchair card covers 75% up to $35 when you travel seated in your chair, applied by the driver at the end of the journey. On a run to a local GP, a pharmacy or across to Osborne Park Hospital, that usually leaves a modest gap. Paper TUSS vouchers stopped being accepted on 1 October 2025, so the card is now required.
Can the driver help me down four front steps?
That is a routine part of the work in this suburb rather than a special request. Yokine's post-war homes typically have three or four steps up to a front entry, frequently with a handrail on one side only, and almost none have had a ramp retrofitted because nothing about the original design anticipated one. Your driver comes to the door, offers an arm or steadies a walking frame, stows the frame properly rather than dropping it in the back, and sees you into the vehicle at your pace. What we do not do is a physical lift or a hoist transfer inside the home, since that is a manual handling task for a support worker or occupational therapist to arrange.
Do you collect from aged care homes and retirement accommodation in Yokine?
We do, and these pickups run more smoothly when they are arranged with the facility rather than around it. Larger sites usually have a designated visitor or ambulance bay that suits a rear ramp far better than the main entrance, and staff can have the resident ready rather than being called for on arrival. Tell us the facility name and the resident's name at booking, and whether the driver should come to the room or wait at a bay. Standing bookings work particularly well for weekly family visits and regular podiatry or allied health appointments.
How far is Yokine from the hospitals my family uses?
Yokine is well placed, which is one of the practical advantages of an established inner-northern suburb. Osborne Park Hospital, providing stroke rehabilitation inpatient services alongside aged care and rehabilitation, is a short run west and takes much of our local therapy work. Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Nedlands, which shares a campus with Perth Children's Hospital, is a straightforward trip rather than the cross-city expedition it becomes from the outer suburbs, and St John of God Subiaco is similarly manageable. We book backwards from your appointment time and include your real loading time.
Can I set up a regular weekly booking from Yokine?
Standing bookings are common here and they suit the pattern of most of our Yokine passengers, whose trips repeat rather than being one-offs. You give us the day, the time and the destination once, and the slot stays yours without rebooking. Your access notes, including the entry and the loading point that matter so much on these older homes, stay attached to the booking. If a week needs skipping for illness or a holiday, one call releases that week alone.
Do you cover Dianella, Morley and North Perth as well?
All three are on our regular list and sit directly against Yokine, and the boundaries between them are administrative rather than real, since Dianella itself was formed in 1958 partly out of East Yokine. Our vehicles cross between these suburbs constantly. The list on this site reflects where we work most often rather than a strict edge. If your street is nearby and you are unsure, call 0483 926 000 and we will tell you immediately.
