SBCITS (South Burnett Community
Integrated Transport Service)
SBCITS aims to deliver to HACC clients, a coordinated community
transport service in the South Burnett. SBCITS offers the South Burnett
Community, coordinated, planned transport options to eligible clients
who are transport disadvantaged.
The options
in delivering this service mean you may be linked in with an existing
service such as a bus route; or a volunteer driver may provide you with
transport. Alternatively, you may share a ride with another person with
a similar destination. If there is mainstream transport available to
you, and you can use it, we will not provide a direct service in one of
our vehicles.
Transport assistance is provided so that clients may get out of their
house and do chores, for example, shopping, banking, visits to the
library, local doctors and attend other activities or community centres.
