This week is Action for Brain Injury Week, and we wanted to take a moment to share something close to what we do every day.

At Open Road Access, we've supported clients living with acquired brain injuries at all different stages of recovery. Sometimes that's about providing reliable, flexible transport in the early weeks after hospital or rehab discharge, when confidence is still rebuilding and routines are still finding their shape. Other times it's about longer-term support, keeping someone connected to physiotherapy, occupational therapy, work, education or the people and places that matter most to them.

Transport, often treated as an afterthought, plays a much bigger role in whether someone can fully participate in their own rehabilitation and maintain their independence.

If you're a case manager, therapist, clinician or family member supporting someone with a brain injury and transport is part of the conversation, we're always happy to talk through how we can help.
This week, we want to recognise everyone affected by brain injury, and everyone showing up for them every single day. 💜

After years of not being able to make it to Lakes… they finally did 💛

Keely and her family won our weekend giveaway but this wasn’t just a trip.
It was having a transport option that made it possible in the first place.

“Any smaller and we just wouldn’t have coped… the flexibility really suited us.”

This is what accessible transport should be.
Not something you have to work around, but something that works around you.

A weekend away. Fresh air. Time together.

✨ and yes, they’re already planning the next one.

When mobility is flexible, people aren’t forced into decisions too early.

In this episode of the Open Road Access - ORA podcast, our CEO David is joined by Solomia Boretska, CEO of - a service that hires out mobility equipment.

One of the key themes in their conversation is timing.

Too often, people are required to make long-term decisions about equipment and transport before they’re ready, at a point where day-to-day life is still evolving.

Flexibility changes that.

It creates space to:
• trial what works
• adapt as circumstances shift
• avoid locking into solutions too soon

🎧 Stay tuned for the full episode, where David and Solomia chat about why flexibility in mobility matters.

"Before, every journey took planning or didn’t happen at all.

Now it’s just getting in and going."

For Carrie-Ann, having access to the right vehicle means she can travel, work, and fully show up in what she does.

This is what access unlocks.

Part 4: Changing Needs
When accessible transport is right, everything else moves forward.

In Episode 4 of the ORA Podcast, Catherine is joined by Occupational Therapist Kate Sheehan to explore how access to the right transport - like hiring a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV) - can remove stress, reduce uncertainty, and help care and rehabilitation goals be achieved faster.

When transport is reliable and accessible, people in rehab can focus on recovery, independence, and participation - not the worry of how they’ll get there. For occupational therapists and carers, it means greater flexibility, confidence, and better outcomes without unnecessary barriers.

🎧 Tune in to hear why accessible transport isn’t just logistics—it’s a critical part of effective rehab, well-being, and everyday life: https://youtu.be/HAMzc5-1p-M

Another passenger is visible behind her, also smiling, suggesting a relaxed and positive travel experience. Surrounding the phone are four white speech-bubble style review boxes, each displaying five blue stars and customer quotes praising Open Road Access for helpful staff, excellent communication, door-to-door service, flexibility with insurance and bookings, and providing a vehicle that met accessibility needs during a difficult family time. One review specifically mentions a 90-year-old passenger feeling happy and secure in his wheelchair. The background is a softly blurred image of the vehicle interior.

Part 3: The planning burden 🚦♿
Accessible transport isn’t just about whether a journey is possible - it’s about the hidden labour required before you even leave the house ✋

In Part 3 of the ORA Podcast, Catherine and Kate unpack a reality many disabled people know too well:
👉 Every trip requires advance booking, access checks, contingency plans, and extra time — with no guarantee it will work.

The conversation explores how this constant planning burden affects energy, participation, rehab goals, employment, and social life - and why inaccessible transport pushes responsibility and risk onto disabled people rather than systems.

🎧 If you live with a disability, work in rehab, occupational therapy, policy, or support someone with disability, this episode explains why planning fatigue is a structural barrier - not a personal failing.
