At Aruma, inclusion is at the heart of everything we do — whether that’s creating calm sensory spaces at events, providing personalised support, or empowering people to live more independently. We know accessibility doesn’t start at the door — it begins with the journey there.
That’s why we’re excited to spotlight Wheelaway, a leader in wheelchair accessible transport across Melbourne, Sydney, and beyond. From Australia’s biggest events to everyday destinations, they’re breaking down barriers and creating more accessible experiences.
Accessible transport for major events in Melbourne and Sydney
Big events can present big challenges for people with mobility needs. Wheelaway makes it easier, providing accessible transport at major events like the F1 Grand Prix, Australian Open, MotoGP, and Spring Racing Carnival in Melbourne — and now they’re bringing their services to Sydney too.
With wheelchair accessible vehicles and trained staff, Wheelaway works closely with event organisers to ensure people with disability can navigate busy events with ease and comfort.
Upcoming events Wheelaway will support:
- MotogGP, 17-19 October 2025
- Spring Racing Carnival, 1-8 November 2025
- Formula1, 5-8 March 2026
- World Superbikes, 20-22 February 2026
Wheelchair accessible vehicle hire for everyday life
Wheelaway doesn’t just make events more accessible. They also offer flexible wheelchair accessible vehicle hire services in Melbourne and Sydney, supporting people with disability, families, and organisations. Their services include:
- Self-hire accessible vehicles for personal use
- Transport support for day trips, holidays, and community outings (note: drivers available at extra cost; not a taxi service)
- Premium airport pick-up and drop-off services
How Aruma and Wheelaway work together
At Aruma, we provide personalised support and inclusive services that empower people with disability to fully participate, feel welcomed, and enjoy every moment, at events and beyond.
Wheelaway makes sure getting there is just as easy. Their person-centred approach to accessible transport aligns with our mission to build an inclusive, accessible Australia — not only at events, but in everyday life.
From the adrenaline of a motorsport race to a day out at the zoo, no one should be left out because of transport or support barriers. Together, Aruma and Wheelaway are making it possible for people with disability and their families to get there, join in, and make the most of every experience.
