About

Great Community Transport

GCT is a Community Organisation, Incorporated as an Association and managed by a community-based management committee. GCT is a fully accredited transport provider with the Department of Transport.  

History

Mountains Community Transport Inc was funded through the Home and Community Care Program (HACC) in 1986 to provide transport assistance for the frail aged, people with disabilities and their carers who lived in the Blue Mountains LGA. A year later Nepean Community Transport Inc was funded to service the same people in the Penrith LGA. Both services have grown with shopping, medical and hospital transports, centre-based meals and social outings being provided by paid and volunteer workers.

Some additional funding has been received from NSW Health and Sydney West Area Health to assist those people who may be temporarily “transport disadvantaged” to their hospital appointments. Both Management Committees agreed that an amalgamation would be beneficial step forward.

The formation of GREAT Community Transport Inc came about on 1^st July 2004.

Vision

To model to the community, a collaborative community-based management structure, which incorporates service commonalities and yet reflects and addresses the unique characteristics and identified transport needs in each local government authority.
