Your journey, our care in Canberra
Welcome to Getting Places, Canberra's dedicated companion driving service. We're here to offer more than just transport – we provide a helping hand, a friendly face, and peace of mind for you and your loved ones. Discover how we make every journey a stress-free and supportive experience.
Our compassionate driving services
At Getting Places, we understand that getting around isn't always just about the destination. It's about the journey, the support, and the personal touch, plus adding those little extras. We offer a range of services tailored to meet your individual needs, ensuring comfort, safety, and genuine care every step of the way.
Appointments & errands
From medical appointments and rehabilitation classes to shopping trips and vet visits for your fur baby, we ensure you arrive safely and with support. We can even help put your shopping away and help you make a meal or muffins for afternoon tea.
Outings & activities
Enjoy stress free social outings like a trip to Bungendore for lunch, a day out at Floriade or a visit to the arboretum. Perhaps you'd like to learn a new skill like singing or craft or work in a community garden. Or you might just need some assistance with your exercise class or hydrotherapy. We're not just driving; we're helping you participate and enjoy life to the fullest.
Personalised support
Beyond transport, we offer advocacy at appointments, can take notes, and report back to your family. I'm also available to coordinate booking of appointments and chasing up paperwork etc that is needed - being the point of contact for liaison, and taking that worry off you or your family's hands.
Drawing on our experience in aged care and support work, we offer more than just driving. We provide holistic care, advocacy, and a supportive presence, especially for those needing extra assistance like individuals with dementia or elderly.
The Getting Places difference
We are not just a taxi service driving from A to B. We are your local Canberra companion, dedicated to making your life easier with a smile and a laugh. With Getting Places, you’ll experience a service that truly cares, focused on your comfort and satisfaction. It’s our business, and your wellbeing is our priority.
Who we love helping
Our primary focus is on providing a helping hand to seniors and people with mobility challenges or maybe just someone who needs some company. We understand the unique needs of our clients and are committed to offering reliable, friendly, and supportive transport and companionship services.
