Transport service

Our transport service gives you more control over your treatment journey and reduces the financial pressures and anxiety that come with navigating life with blood cancer.  

We provide practical support including vouchers to reduce travel costs, to help you get to medical appointments in a way that suits you as well as information about other transport providers in your area.

Our transport service is always evolving to better meet the needs of the blood cancer community, an evolution proudly supported by Bridgestone and its network since 1986.

Types of support

• Vouchers: Fuel, Uber or taxi vouchers to ease the cost of travel.
• Community transport information: Details about other community transport providers in the area. This could include transport services for cancer treatment or related appointments.
• Subsidies: Patient accommodation and travel schemes in each Australian state and territory provide subsidies for some long-distance and interstate travel.

Eligibility and assessment process

People who need assistance travelling to blood cancer-related medical appointments may be eligible for the Leukaemia Foundation’s transport service.

Each request is assessed individually using a clear set of selection criteria to ensure support is provided fairly and consistently.

All requests are subject to approval, and assistance is offered based on eligibility and availability. This approach allows the Leukaemia Foundation to provide flexible support while helping reduce barriers to accessing treatment when and where it is needed.
