THE Community Transport Company (TCTC) has taken out top honours in two recognition award programs.
TCTC was named Outstanding Community Organisation at this year’s Business NSW Awards, and Large Community Transport Provider of the Year at the Community Transport Organisation (CTO) Conference in Orange.
These accolades recognise its vital role across the Coffs Coast and Nambucca Valley.
With more than 5000 residents in the region relying on its services, the organisation provides essential aged care and disability transport, helping people stay connected, independent, and part of their communities.
Operating locally from Corindi to Scotts Head, the not-for-profit delivers over 400 trips every day, supported by 100 dedicated local volunteers who give more than 50,000 hours each year.
The awards celebrate the organisation’s compassion, innovation, and leadership in inclusive transport.
Chief Executive Officer and Talarm resident, Bethany Langford, said the recognition shines a light on the need to preserve the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) for transport services during the current aged care reforms.
“Aged care transport is by its nature an asset-heavy service, and without CHSP block funding, thousands of older residents could be left without safe, reliable, and accredited transport options,” Ms Langford said.
“These awards remind us of the importance of community transport: to make sure everyone, no matter where they live or what challenges they face, can get where they need to go.”
