A consuming passion led to the beginning of Australia in Style.
It all started with a family collection of vintage and classic cars. To support their high maintenance, the fabulous fleet from the 1930’s to 1960’s was offered for hire. Over the years we proudly contributed to more than 5000 weddings and special events creating cherished memories.
However , we soon recognised a significant gap – many people, particularly those with mobility challenges, were unable to celebrate life’s milestones due to accessibility barriers. If there are obstacles to getting there, how can you share those precious moments?
The Shift to Disability Transport
Fifteen years ago we shifted our focus to provide barrier-free transport.
Today our fleet now includes wheelchair accessible vans and minibuses, all equipped with electronic wheelchair lifts for comfort and ease.
Working alongside like minded partners, we have cemented our position as the Sydney’s market leader in disability transport and tours. Beyond transport, these accessible vehicles empower businesses and organisations to serve a broader more inclusive community, ensuring people with mobility challenges can fully enjoy life.
We strive to provide the most efficient and innovative ways for our partners to manage and grow their disability support goals with confidence.
Australia In Style’s dedication to inclusivity has been recognised with numerous international, national and state awards including the recent NSW Tourism Award for Excellence in Accessible Tourism.
Making Sydney More Accessible
One of our most gratifying services is facilitating access to Sydney’s renowned performance venues. In collaboration with these venues, thousands of patrons with mobility challenges benefit from an accessible shuttle bus service from a nearby transport hub, enabling them to engage with Sydney’s vibrant arts scene.
Special events , such as New Years Eve, and festivals are all about celebration and increasingly event organisors are incorporating our minibuses to facilitate access for all.
Wheelchair users visiting Sydney now enjoy seamless access to the icons and lifestyle of the city with the award winning ‘No Steps’ tours. From dips in the surf at coastal beaches, encounters with Australian native wildlife, breathtaking views in the Blue Mountains and attendance at celebrity performances, treasured memories can be created for everyone.
As an NDIS registered provider we have expanded our capacity to assist plan managers and care homes.
Clients are able to incorporate personalisation and travel pace, so we have become the ‘ go-to ‘ accessible transport provider for a range of service sectors.
Collaboration is the cornerstone of our business . Our vision is to support like minded industry partners to customise event specific logistics and services that align with their goals. Insodoing people with disabilities are empowered.
