Accessible Accommodation and Travellers Aid unite to enhance inclusive travel

A shared commitment to inclusion and accessibility, the partnership combines trusted services and verified accommodation options.

Accessible Accommodation and Travellers Aid are proud to announce a strategic partnership aimed at improving the travel experience for people with disabilities, older people, and improving awareness of accommodation providers.

United by a shared commitment to inclusion and accessibility, the partnership combines trusted services and verified accommodation options to increase awareness and offer solutions that support dignity, independence, and choice.

“We believe travel should be joyful and accessible for everyone. Partnering with Travellers Aid allows us to extend that joy beyond accommodation—ensuring people can get to where they want to go, safely and confidently.” Kerry Williams, Founder of The Accessible Group.

“This partnership is a natural alignment of values. Together, we’re removing barriers and creating pathways for people to participate fully in their communities.” Travellers Aid CEO Elias Lebbos

About Travellers Aid 

Travellers Aid is a registered charity and social enterprise with service hubs at Flinders Street, Southern Cross, Ballarat and Seymour stations.  

An integral part of Victoria’s travel story, we began by assisting women travelling for work during two World Wars. Today we offer a wide range of services that enable people with diverse needs to travel across the Victorian public transport system, access events and participate in their community.  

Travellers Aid is about access and inclusion. Across all of our services, we’re committed to ensuring that all Victorians can participate in our community. We take pride in the diverse backgrounds of our team which reflect the communities in which we work.  

Our vision is a society where people with disability or mobility challenges are treated with dignity and respect, being able to lead full and rich lives with confidence.
