Community Assisted Transport Scheme (CATS)
The car has arrived, and the drivers are ready to go. Following a successful application to the Bain Estate, Helen Gooding and Bob Bray, in conjunction with the Shire, have been working to get the CATS to the point of being ready to operate. The scheme pairs volunteer drivers with a client to ensure that services outside of our area can be accessed. All it costs the client is a $50 fee in addition to their PATS reimbursement which goes to ensuring the scheme remains viable in the future.
Who can use the service?
The service is available to ALL residents of the Shire;

• For journeys to specialist medical appointments; or
• Allied health appointments where the service is not available locally; or
• For compassionate reasons;
• Clients under the age of 18 shall be required to have a guardian accompany them on the journey.

If you want to make use of the service, simply contact the Coordinator, Helen Gooding, to learn more and fill in a simple form. Once you are signed up, bookings can then be made through the Dumbleyung CRC.
