Taxi Transport Subsidy Scheme (TTSS)

Provides subsidised transport by taxi to people with severe and permanent disabilities from 5 years onwards. Participants pay half of the metered fare. The Maximum subsidy that can be claimed is $30.00 per trip. Any amount over the $60 metered fare must be incurred by the participant. There is a six week processing time of applications. Participation in the scheme is not means tested, however, applicants must meet strict eligibility criteria.

Hello ,
I'm in a really bad situation atm . I recently had to move because my dad who I was caring for 10 years had to go into aged care .
I had nowhere to go with my dog and luckily someone I barely know let me rent a room off him in Powelltown, Vic .
I don't drive and it's an 18km walk just to get to a bus stop that is still Ages away from most things .
My centerlink has been cut off because I couldnt attend a job provider appointment due to it being so far and I haven't had any food for 5 days now.
There is a local food relief place that gives Me a few fresh vegetables every Friday but they didn't come today and it's only a few fruit and veg which is not very nourishing on an empty stomach . They only come on Fridays when they can .
Can you guys please
