Important Update: Transport Service Pricing Adjustment
13 March 2025
A message from St George Community CEO, Natasha Stokes
At St George Community, our priority is providing safe, reliable, and high-quality transport services to the community. As a not-for-profit organisation, we have worked hard to keep our prices as affordable as possible, with minimal changes since 2012. However, due to rising operational costs – particularly in insurance, fuel, labour, and vehicle maintenance – we must implement a price adjustment across all our transport services, effective –
1 April 2025.
We understand that any price increase can impact your budget, and we want to be transparent about the reasons behind this change. These adjustments are necessary to ensure we can continue delivering the quality service you rely on while maintaining safety and reliability.
The table below outlines the cost of our various transport services effective 1 April 2025:
