Community transport program

Stonnington’s Community Transport Program provides flexible and accessible transport assistance for residents aged over 55 years and people living with disability to stay independent and participate in community life. We provide individual transport to shopping centres, libraries and Engaged program events.

The primary intention is to provide affordable assisted transport to meet the unmet transport needs of retail and community destinations for eligible residents. The service does not provide transport for medical or health appointments.

We provide a bus service for:

  • Stonnington residents over 55 years, and
  • People who are frail or living with disability, and find it hard to get public transport or private transport.

We provide regular transport to and from:

  • Shopping Centres (Prahran Market, Chadstone Shopping Centre, Malvern Central and others)
  • Malvern Library
  • Engaged Programs and Events.

All our buses take wheelchairs. You can bring walking frames and support equipment.

We can pick you up from home and can help you on and off the bus.

You are independent on these trips. You can choose what you want to do.

You must meet the bus on time for the trip home.

If you miss the bus, you will need to find another way home.
