Community Bus Transport Services

The City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters provides a door-to-door Community Bus transport service for eligible residents who no longer drive and require assistance to access community activities.

This is a great role for someone who enjoys meeting people and helping people to remain socially connected and able to participate in everyday activities.

We have two volunteer roles on offer.

Stepping Out

Do you like a coffee and a chat?

Do you have an hour a fortnight to share with someone in your local community?

Stepping Out matches up volunteers, dedicated to sharing their own skills and interests, with frail aged or younger disabled members of our community living in their own home.

The benefits of Stepping Out include:

• companionship and friendship
• increasing an individual's involvement in social activities and the community
• Sharing a hobby or activity that is of mutual interest.
