Carers that drive

In 2009, Suzie Coghlan was juggling caring for elderly parents and an adult daughter with a disability, while working as an interior designer. She found herself driving on the road a great deal trying to shuffle and juggle appointments.

Seeing the lack of support available, she realized there was a need for a personalized transport service and with the prompting and encouragement of her mother she established Carers That Drive, in NSW.

This unique service matches caring, qualified supporters with people, from all walks of life and abilities, who need help getting out and about in their car or ours. The service even allows clients to travel with their furry friends. Clients, once registered, can carpool together.

“One of the best aspects of the business,” Suzie says, “is building meaningful relationships with our clients. Our clients become a part of our extended family and we work together to help them find the independence they are seeking.

In 2021, the service was launched on the Sunshine Coast with the help of local resident Paul Sutton. Under his guidance the team on the Sunshine Coast has grown and response to the service has been fantastic.”

If you would like a transport service that is designed to meet your lifestyle goals then contact Paul Sutton, Queensland manager on 0403 696 690 to discuss your needs.

Carers that Drive are a Registered NDIS provider and family owned Australian business.
