Our regular bus trips are an uplifting opportunity for our clients to meet new people, see new places, enjoy great food, and socialise. Our buses depart from a meeting point close to your suburb and take you to a planned location, which is why it is important you are able to climb stairs and board a bus independently. An SSG referral code is required for these outings.
