Both services have expanded and now provide assistance with shopping, medical and hospital transports, transport to centre based meals and social outings being provided by paid and volunteer workers.

Today, the weather was exquisite as our clients from the Blacktown Area 2 and 3 explored the wonders of Wildwood Garden and gift shop in Bilpin. They delighted in the lush scenery and breathtaking vistas from the cafe veranda, while enjoying homemade quiche or lasagna accompanied by fresh salad. For dessert, they indulged in scrumptious apple pie or apple cake served with creamy ice cream. It was indeed a splendid outing in Bilpin, Blue Mountains.

About Us

Great Community Transport provides transport for eligible disadvantaged people (the frail aged, people with disabilities and their carers) living in the Blue Mountains and Penrith local government areas.

Mountains Community Transport 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 was funded to service the same people in the Penrith LGA. On 1 July 2004 the two services were amalgamated to become GREAT Community Transport Inc. The service has since expanded and now provides assistance with shopping, medical and hospital transports, transport to centre based meals and social outings, all provided by paid and volunteer workers.
