Transport
Shuttle Service Taranaki Centre provides a shuttle service to and from the treatment centre in Palmerston North. The shuttle runs on Mondays & Fridays and also occasionally on Wednesdays when required. The shuttle picks up from all centres in Taranaki and will take you to Ozanam House. The shuttle departure times are based on patient appointments – we make sure we are in Palmerston North in time for the earliest appointment on Mondays, and leave after the last appointment on Fridays. The service is funded by the Ministry of Health and is free. Caregivers are also welcome to travel. To book a place on the shuttle please contact the office on 08 758 5644. Volunteer Drivers If you do not have your own transport and are currently undergoing cancer treatment, volunteer drivers are available to drive you to appointments at Taranaki Base, & Hawera hospitals. They will also do drives to the supermarket, doctors and for other special requirements. Please contact the Support Coordinator for more information. Travel Assistance If you need to use your own car to travel to and from treatment and you have a Community Services Card, you may be entitled to assistance with travel costs. This is a national Ministry of Health scheme. Please visit: http://www.moh.govt.nz/travelassistance or phone 0800 281 222 for more information, or application and claim forms.
