Wheelchair Taxi Berwick
Berwick is one of the older, more established suburbs in the area, with a village-style high street, Wilson Botanic Park, and its own train station. We run wheelchair-accessible taxis through Berwick every day, in vehicles fitted with a ramp or hoist and drivers trained specifically to assist passengers with mobility needs.
A lift to a medical appointment, the airport, or out to see family all work the same way. Manual or powered wheelchairs travel secured, and nobody is rushed or lifted awkwardly getting in or out.
We also carry NDIS participants who manage their own transport funding. Booking works the same as any other trip: call or book online, and we send an accessible vehicle with a driver who knows what to do with it.
- Ramp and hoist-equipped vehicles for manual and powered wheelchairs
- Drivers trained in assisting elderly and mobility-impaired passengers
- Accessible transport suitable for NDIS participants, self-managed and plan-managed
- One-off trips or standing weekly bookings
- Servicing Berwick and the surrounding area, 24 hours a day
Why Choose Wheelchair Taxi Berwick
Berwick’s older streets, the village high street, and Wilson Botanic Park all mean something different for accessible transport: narrower kerbside space and a driver who actually knows the area helps more here than in a newer suburb.
Many of our passengers travel on subsidised fares through the Victorian Government’s Multi Purpose Taxi Program. If you think you might be eligible, it is worth checking before you book.
You can book a single trip or set a standing weekly booking if you travel regularly. If you would like the same driver each time, say so when you book and we will do our best to arrange it. You can also see every area we cover on our suburbs page.

What a Berwick pickup looks like
Berwick pickups are usually from a house or off the older part of the high street, where kerbside room can be tight. The driver gets as close to the door as the street allows, then puts the ramp down or brings the hoist out before the passenger moves.
Manual chairs, powered chairs and scooters are all secured inside. Nobody is lifted out of their chair unless they would rather sit in a normal seat, and the driver helps with that.
There is 15 minutes of wait time at each end. If you are near the station and parking is bad, say so when you book.
Booking Wheelchair Taxi Berwick for a parent or client
Berwick bookings come from adult children as often as from passengers. Aged care staff and support coordinators call too.
We need a name, a number someone will answer, and what equipment is travelling. Powered chairs take more room than manual ones, so it changes which vehicle we send. Regular trips are worth setting up as a standing booking so the details stay on file.
Fares
Trips are metered under Victorian commercial passenger vehicle rules. Ask at booking if you want a fixed price instead.
Payment happens at the end. Tell us beforehand if a facility or family member is covering it rather than the passenger.
