TBBCT recognises that many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are transport disadvantaged, and that there is an urgent need to address issues of access to healthcare,  to decrease the wide gap in life expectancy between our indigenous and non-indigenous populations.

TBBCT prioritises the needs of Aboriginal clients who need help to get to medical appointments, and support Aboriginal people to access social and cultural events where we are able to. 

We have Aboriginal employees, and an Aboriginal volunteer program.

TBBCT are always seeking volunteers to help us to provide culturally appropriate services to our clients. Contact our office if you can assist.

We have piloted a daily shopping access bus from Cabbage Tree Island to Ballina and return within school hours Monday to Friday including school holidays. Cabbo Trippers Time Table.pdf  (Click to download).

TBBCT’s Aboriginal Transport Development Officer (ATDO)  is available to support access to our services by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and to work with the community to try to resolve transport disadvantage. 

Please contact us with any queries about access to our service and to discuss individual transport issues you may face.
