Transport |
Transport provides a vital link for people in our Shire to access social and recreational activities and medical care, locally and across the region. Namoi Care Connect provides friendly, personal and caring transport for members of the local community, who are transport disadvantaged and who live in the Narrabri Shire. Transport can be provided for individuals and groups. Individual transport is mainly provided by volunteers, who give of their time to support our local community. While we are able to provide some transport at short notice, we usually require a minimum of 48 hours notice for individual transport. Group transport requires a minimum of 14 working days notice. This gives staff time to make appropriate arrangements for your journey.
