Supporting Independence and Community Involvement with trusted Support Companions
Driving Miss Daisy collaborates with NDIS support coordinators, planners, and case managers to deliver safe, reliable, and personalised companion driving services that prioritise social and community participation.
The Daisy way facilitates participant access to community events, group activities, social gatherings, classes, and recreational outings, we help participants build confidence, make lasting connections, and enjoy fuller inclusion in everyday life.
Our Daisies actively encourage community participation by providing reassurance, friendly conversation, and practical support. Whether it’s attending appointments, visiting friends and family, or participating in arts, sports, or other community activities, we focus on reducing social isolation and enhancing independence. Our flexible services are designed around each person’s unique social and recreational goals.
Our friendly franchise team works with support providers to continually monitor progress, gather feedback, and ensure participants always feel supported, valued, and part of their community.Every Daisy support companion meets strict requirements, including Police and Working with Children checks, First aid, and specialist training.
Our strong commitment is to social and community participation; it's a journey to connection, inclusion, and greater confidence.
Do you have clients using NDIS funding for community participation, social outings, or access to group activities? Driving Miss Daisy companions offer far more than safe transport - opening the door to vibrant social lives, genuine independence, and a true sense of belonging with every trip.Our companion drivers are passionate, person-centred professionals skilled at working with vulnerable people. Every journey is thoughtfully designed to build friendships and social connections, empowering clients to confidently participate in their communities.
Unlike regular transport services, we are different to and offer more than taxis or Ubers - We greet clients at their door, provide assistance into and out of vehicles and venues, and remain by their side throughout every outing. Clients always feel safe, comfortable, and fully supported.
Our flexible, NDIS-aligned approach helps participants get the most from their Core Supports - we champion everyone’s right to be fully engaged in community life.Clients benefit from reliable, accessible transport - whether for mobility support, flexible scheduling, or wheelchair-accessible vehicles where possible. Every trip is an opportunity to form new friendships, celebrate diversity, and support active participation in a vibrant, welcoming community. And when plans change, our fair cancellation terms help stretch NDIS funding further. With a caring network of trained companions, there’s always someone ready to assist.
With Driving Miss Daisy, NDIS participants are never alone on their journey, they have a trusted companion dedicated to inclusion, wellbeing, and genuine care at every step.

I’ve introduced Liz and her team at Driving Miss Daisy Ormiston to four of my NDIS participants, all of whom have been extremely happy. The drivers are friendly and helpful, the car is always clean and comfortable, they’re punctual and nothing is ever too much trouble. Highly recommended!
