Free public transport in Victoria means more people on platforms, stops and services - many of whom may be unfamiliar with public transport. The crowds and noise can be overwhelming, so if you notice someone who looks unsure or distressed, consider checking to see if they are okay. And keep an eye out for the Hidden Disability Sunflower.

'Your Year to Volunteer' is the theme for National Volunteer Week this year highlighting the contributions of current volunteers and also promoting people to take the next step to begin volunteering.

During Australia's largest annual celebration of volunteering, Travellers Aid would like to send a big thank you to all of our amazing volunteers for their impact within our organisation.

If you enjoy helping people and want to give back to your community, we’d love to hear from you.

With free public transport across Victoria, platforms and tram stops are busier than usual. If you see an older person trying to move through a crowded platform or tram stop, please make way. We are all trying to get somewhere and pushing doesn’t help anyone—it can be dangerous for people who may be unsteady on their feet.

When travelling on free public transport, crowds can be challenging. If you notice someone using a mobility device (wheelchair, walker, or walking stick) you may offer assistance, but always ask before helping.

If they say no, respect their choice.

And remember: mobility equipment is part of someone’s personal space, never touch it without consent.
