Community Transport

Mobility and transport can be a big issue for older people and those with disabilities. The integrated approach of the Holdsworth Centre uses our extensive Community Transport Program to assist all our service users.   These services for residents of Woollahra local government area are funded through the HACC program (via NSW Transport and Infrastructure), Woollahra Council and the NSW Health Department.

Community Transport provides affordable, accessible transport to people in the Woollahra local government area who unable to access public transport or without access to private vehicle support. The Centre operates mini-buses and station wagons for individual transport.

Shopping Services

Shopping Buses offer a door to door bus service to either Bondi Junction or Edgecliff shopping centres. Buses have assistants who are able to help with shopping on the return trip. For those who are less active, or recovering from illness, we are able to arrange Individual Shopping Services whereby we do your shopping for you or Assisted Shopping where there is a volunteer to accompany you and help with your trolley etc.

Individual Transport

An individual transport service is available Monday to Friday,
8.30 am to 5.30 pm for medical, dental and physiotherapy
appointments.

The individual transport service is available Saturday 9.00am to 4.00pm for social appointments in the Eastern suburbs area only.

Do you have difficulty accessing public transport?

If you live in the Woollahra LGA you may be able to use our Community Bus – a free service linking Woollahra, Rose Bay, Watsons Bay and Vaucluse with shopping centres and medical facilities in Bondi Junction, Edgecliff, Paddington and Darlinghurst. Bookings are essential! To check if the bus times suit your needs and to book a trip, call the Community Transport team at Holdsworth 9302 3605 before 3 pm on the previous business day. We will call you back by 5 pm to advise when and where we will pick you up. Over time we will then develop a regular bus route that meets the greatest demand.

We will pick up and drop off almost anywhere in the Woollahra Municipality, within the time frames indicated on the timetable. This free service can be accessed by all, but priority will be given to people who are frail, aged or have difficulty accessing other forms of transport.

The Woollahra Link Community Bus Service is operated by Holdsworth Community Centre & Services and is jointly funded by NSW Transport and Infrastructure, through the Home & Community Care (HACC) Program, and Woollahra Municipal Council.

All transport requires advance booking. Please call 9302 3600 and ask for Community Transport
