Looking for ndis & aged care from Hastings? Taxi Peninsula picks up from any address in Hastings in a wheelchair accessible taxi with a ramp or hoist, four-point wheelchair restraints and a driver trained to help you in and out safely.
Frankston-Flinders Road is the main route north through Tyabb and Somerville to Frankston, and it can slow at school and work start times. The Stony Point line stops at Hastings station, but trains are infrequent. Around the marina and foreshore, weekend boat traffic and trailer parking can make pick-ups tricky, so choose a clear meeting point. For HMAS Cerberus, we drop off at the main gate area unless you have other arrangements. Many residential streets are quiet and wide, making wheelchair loading straightforward at the kerb. On summer weekends, traffic builds near the foreshore and boat ramps.

What else do people ask?
Can my NDIS plan pay for the taxi?
We bill approved NDIS accounts, so if your plan includes transport funding and the arrangement is in place, trips can be invoiced rather than paid on the day. Talk to your plan manager or support coordinator about what your plan covers, then tell us how you would like billing handled when you first book.
Do you provide transport for aged-care clients?
Yes. We bill approved aged-care accounts and regularly carry older passengers to appointments, shopping, social groups and family visits. Drivers help from door to door and are used to walking frames, folding wheelchairs and passengers who need a little extra time. Residential care staff and family members can book on a client’s behalf.
Can a support coordinator book on my behalf?
Yes. Support coordinators, plan managers, support workers and family members all make bookings for passengers. Give us the passenger’s details, any mobility needs and who should receive confirmations, and we will keep that information with future trips. The driver will always ask for the passenger by name on pick-up.
Can I set up a regular weekly booking?
Yes, and many passengers prefer it. Tell us the days, times and addresses for your regular trips, whether to a day program, therapy, work or shopping, and we will set them up. If something changes, such as a cancelled session or a public holiday, just let us know and we adjust the booking.
Does my support worker pay a separate fare?
A carer or support worker travels with the passenger as part of the same trip. If you are unsure how this applies under your particular funding arrangement, mention it when you book and check with your plan manager, and we will make sure the trip details are recorded clearly for billing.
Questions about ndis & aged care from hastings
How long does it take from Hastings to Melbourne CBD?
About 75 minutes without traffic. We add time for loading and securing your wheelchair, and for peak-hour traffic, when we plan your pick-up.
How much does it cost for ndis & aged care from Hastings?
Fares depend on distance, time of day and waiting time. The booking form shows an estimate, or ask us for a fixed quote.
Can you pick me up from my home, a hospital or an aged-care home in Hastings?
Yes. We pick up from any address — homes, hospitals, clinics, aged-care homes and day programs — and help you from the door to the vehicle.
Can you take me from Hastings to HMAS Cerberus?
Yes. HMAS Cerberus is at Crib Point, a short trip from Hastings, and we carry personnel, visitors and families there regularly. We drop off at the main gate area, as access beyond that depends on base security arrangements. Book ahead for early starts and for ceremonies or family days, when traffic around the base increases.
Is the Stony Point train or a taxi better for getting from Hastings to Frankston?
It depends on timing. The Stony Point line runs less often than metropolitan trains, so if your schedule does not match, a taxi to Frankston station or Frankston Hospital is quicker. A taxi is also easier with luggage, shopping or a wheelchair. We can set up regular bookings for commuting.
Do you pick up shift workers in Hastings at night?
We do. Taxi Peninsula runs 24 hours, seven days, and shift workers in Hastings and around the port book us for late finishes and early starts. Set up a recurring booking so you do not have to arrange each trip, and include the exact gate or meeting point at your workplace.
