Looking for ndis & aged care from Portsea? Taxi Peninsula picks up from any address in Portsea 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.
Point Nepean Road ends at Portsea, so every trip in or out follows the same route through Sorrento, which slows considerably in summer and on long weekends. The Portsea Hotel and foreshore get crowded on warm afternoons, and kerbside space is tight. Inside Point Nepean National Park, roads and visitor areas have their own access arrangements, so we drop off and collect at the main visitor area unless you tell us otherwise. Mobile coverage can be patchy on the ocean side. There is no train service. Many holiday homes sit on private roads or behind gates and dense tea-tree, so please give the driver clear directions and a contact number in your booking.

Τι άλλο ρωτούν συχνά;
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 portsea
How long does it take from Portsea to Κέντρο της Μελβούρνης (CBD)?
About 80 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 Portsea?
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 Portsea?
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 us to Point Nepean National Park from Portsea?
Yes. We usually drop off at the main visitor area near the park entrance, where the Quarantine Station precinct is. Let us know if you would like to be collected later, and book a set time since mobile reception can be unreliable in parts of the park. Accessible vehicles are available for wheelchair users.
Will you pick up from the Portsea Hotel late at night?
We can. Summer evenings at the Portsea Hotel are busy, so book your trip home in advance and agree a pick-up point out of the main crowd. Groups heading back to Sorrento, Rye or further can share the Maxi WAT, which seats six plus two wheelchairs.
How do I get from Portsea to Melbourne Airport?
Book a taxi at least a day ahead and give us your flight time, so we can plan a pick-up that allows for traffic along Point Nepean Road and the freeways. For the trip home, add your flight number and we will track it. A fixed quote is available on request for this longer journey.
