Compassion On Wheels

The Hurley Bus

Since launching in December last year, the Hurley Bus has already completed more than 400 bookings, providing free transport for elderly, frail, and palliative community members. The service, run entirely by volunteers through the Ingham Palliative Carers Committee, offers a safe, reliable, and compassionate way for people to stay connected and attend important appointments.

The eight-seat bus is wheelchair accessible and travels throughout Ingham, the surrounding districts, Cardwell, and even to Townsville. While it is most often used for medical appointments, airport transfers, and clinic visits, the service is also available for outings such as family functions, church, shopping trips, the movies, hairdresser appointments, or special occasions.

Each trip includes both a driver and an assistant, all of whom are volunteers with First Aid Certificates and, most importantly, a willingness to help with kindness and joy.

�E��EWe do what we do, and we do it with joy,�E��E says coordinator Judy Cardillo. �E��EAs long as they can, the Hurley Bus will help you get there.�E��E

Residents in Cardwell are especially encouraged to make use of the service.
