🚐💙 Let's be honest, if you live west of the Hawkesbury River, public transport isn't exactly at your doorstep!

That's why our new Study and Apprenticeship Transport trial is already making a real difference for one Glossodia family.

Every weekday, we're helping a local apprentice get safely from home to your destination and back again for just $2.50 per trip through our Study and Apprenticeship Transport service.

For his parent, it's provided real peace of mind, knowing their son can get to his apprenticeship safely, reliably and on time, while also taking the pressure off coordinating daily transport. Even better, it's given valuable time back each day that would otherwise be spent on the road.

With limited transport options available in the area, having an affordable and reliable service has made all the difference.
✅ Safe and reliable transport to TAFE, RTOs and apprenticeships
✅ Just $2.50 per trip
✅ Supporting local apprentices and students
✅ Giving families back valuable time

Who can use the service?
The Study and Apprenticeship Transport program is available to people living in the Hawkesbury and Blue Mountains local government areas who need assistance getting to study, apprenticeships or training opportunities and have limited transport options available.

Our Study and Apprenticeship Transport program is helping people access employment, training and education opportunities that may otherwise be difficult to reach, ensuring where you live doesn't determine where you can go.
