Rockhampton is the hub of Central Queensland, but the region it serves is vast — stretching out to the Capricorn Coast, the Capricornia Hinterland, and the mining communities further west. For many NDIS participants, that means the nearest specialist, TAFE campus, or community activity can be a genuine journey rather than a short trip, and without reliable transport, participation and independence both take a hit. Seareal's NDIS Transport Support in Rockhampton is designed around that reality.

We're a registered NDIS provider delivering consistent, locally based support across Rockhampton and Central Queensland, and transport is a core part of how we help participants stay connected to work, study, healthcare, and community.

Who This Service Is For

This service is suited to participants unable to drive due to disability, participants living in Yeppoon, Gracemere, or other Capricorn Coast towns with limited transport links to Rockhampton, families needing consistent transport for a child's therapy or school-related appointments, and participants working toward independent travel skills as part of their NDIS goals.

What Our Transport Support Covers

  • Transport to and from Rockhampton Hospital, GP clinics, and allied health appointments
  • Travel to CQUniversity Rockhampton, TAFE Queensland, workplaces, and training placements
  • Support getting to Stockland Rockhampton, Rockhampton City Centre Plaza, and everyday shopping and errands
  • Travel to community and recreational activities, including the Botanic Gardens, Kershaw Gardens, and local events
  • Regular recurring transport for therapy, medical treatment, and day programs

  • Support for participants living in Yeppoon, Gracemere, and across the Capricorn Coast, where transport links to Rockhampton are limited

Areas We Cover

Rockhampton CBD and North Rockhampton, Norman Gardens and Frenchville, Berserker and Koongal, Gracemere, Yeppoon and the wider Capricorn Coast, and communities extending toward Mount Morgan and the Capricornia Hinterland by arrangement.

Why transport support matters here

Central Queensland is spread out, and a lot of essential services — hospitals, specialists, higher education — are centred in Rockhampton itself, which means participants living further out often face long trips just to access basic care or opportunities. Public transport across the region is limited outside the main routes, and connections between towns like Yeppoon and Rockhampton don't always align with appointment times. Our support workers are based locally, understand these travel patterns, and build trips around your schedule so appointments and commitments are met reliably.

How It Fits Your NDIS Plan

Depending on your goals and circumstances, transport support is generally funded through Core Supports for community participation or through a dedicated NDIS Transport Funding allocation for participants who can't use public transport independently. This funding typically sits at one of three levels based on individual need and participation goals. Our team can help you understand exactly what your current plan covers and how to use it effectively.

Our Approach

We aim to keep participants with the same one or two familiar support workers for regular trips, which matters especially for participants who find changes in routine or unfamiliar faces stressful. Our Central Queensland team understands the realistic travel times between Rockhampton and surrounding towns, including the Capricorn Coast, and plans accordingly.
