HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

Every Daisy Companion has completed detailed training and has been specially recruited knowing that many clients are elderly and need something special rather than just transport.

The safety of your children is our top priority. When we start, you are very welcome to be a passenger as well so that you can be completely confident that your child is well looked after and delivered hand to hand at the destination. All companion drivers have working with children certification and police checks together with first-aid certificates.

Before a journey, we ask about any special instructions and make notes about disabilities, just in case. In this way, passengers with disabilities and their carer can be assured that we are looking after the passenger just as we would our own family.

Pre-quoting means peace of mind. To do so we take a little bit more time to ask questions about your special needs and what needs to be completed along the way. No one wants surprises about the price, that is why we always pre-quote every journey.

Once you get to know your Daisy Companion, we look forward to you booking on a regular basis. We love to get to know our regular clients.

When booking your next Daisy trip, we will ask whether you need us to help you after you leave the Daisy vehicle. Taking you into the hairdresser, physiotherapist, pharmacy or shopping centre are some of the many things that make a journey with a Daisy Companion special.

When we are helping, we take you from your home and particularly if you are forgetful, make sure you arrive safely at your destination. We can even take you to appointments and keep notes for you and for your family so that everyone knows what has happened.

Daisy journeys can be short or long, tailored to just what you need. A drive along the coast, a traipse down the beach, an afternoon shopping, or even a pet-accompanied coffee date! Our Daisy Companions are all happy for adventure, and would love to accompany you on any you could want or imagine.

Driving Miss Daisy delights in half day and full day excursions and outings. You can invite friends to join you. In fact we even cater for mystery tours so that the variety of things that you can do is endless. Let's turn your day into something to remember.

If you are an NDIS participant or rely upon an NDIS support coordinator, you can book a Daisy Companion for all your journeys. For your peace of mind, we will ask you all of the important NDIS questions so that you are covered by your participation payments.

If you book early, do ask for your particular Daisy Companion driver. This means you can carry on with the conversation that you started on the previous occasion!

Payment arrangements are very flexible. Usually payment is made by credit card or invoice after completion. For distant family members, advance payment can be arranged with travel and accounting details supplied on a monthly basis. Just ask when making your enquiry, if you need further details.

Driving Miss Daisy has all of the payment options from credit card, debit card, cash and pre-arranged invoicing. If you have any doubts, please ask when you make your enquiry.

The good thing about Driving Miss Daisy is that it is professional. Bookings can be made well in advance so that you are assured that your local Daisy will arrive on time and ready to help.

There are never surprises when booking services with Driving Miss Daisy. At the time of free quoting all of the important details will be outlined so that you understand what are the costs, how much notice do you need to give for a free cancellation and what expenses might be incurred if you decide to cancel a booking. Everything is explained so that you can enjoy using Driving Miss Daisy on a regular basis.

Yes — in most cases you can use your aged care funding with Driving Miss Daisy. Under Australia’s new Support at Home program (introduced November 2025), funding is provided through either ongoing support classifications (levels 1–8) or short-term pathways such as Restorative Care or End-of-Life care. Transport and social support services can often be included, depending on your care plan. Some paperwork or approval through your provider may be required, but this is usually quick to arrange so you can start services when you need them.
