Travel Training

Knowing how to travel independently helps us to access the community!

Our programs have a strong focus on building independence and life skills like travel training.

Travel training is a component integrated into our School Leavers Employment Support (SLES) Program, Social Weekends and the School Holiday Program.

We also offer individual 1:1 travel training where we gain skills in catching the train, bus, tram, taxis and even in some circumstances we experience going to the airport and taking a plane.

Road Safety

We learn how to stay safe on the roads when commuting, such as staying on the path, looking both ways, and being aware of our surroundings.

Street Smart

We learn the meaning of different road signs, pedestrian crossings and rules of the road.

Independence

After lots of practice, catching public transport to our sessions is promoted for our travel trainers. We have methods of keeping an eye on them and we'll pick them up if they lose their way.

Sun Safety

We also learn the importance of sun safety whilst travelling, such as wearing hats and sunscreen.

Being Prepared

We learn how to manage our money and Go Card. We buy tickets, top up our card, and renew our cards. We also manage checking bus times, ordering taxis, and much more.

Accessing the Community

It feels great for participants to catch public transport and get to a destination in the community.
