Accessible Travel

When we talk about South Australia being an accessible destination, we don't just mean it's easy to get around. Much time and effort has been spent in recent years to ensure that travelling with a disability won't stop you enjoying what South Australia has to offer.

Where to Stay
Look for properties displaying the international wheelchair symbol, and always check the business can accommodate your specific needs.

Car Hire
A number of South Australian car hire companies supply vehicles fitted with hand controls. Just let the company know well in advance about the nature of your disability, and special arrangements will be made. Standard hire vehicles can also be fitted with special devices to satisfy your needs.
 
General Travel Tips
Plan ahead and make reservations for transport, accommodation, tours and hire equipment well in advance. Be very specific about your needs and confirm that operators can meet your requirements.

Check health care arrangements. Australia's national health insurance scheme, Medicare, has reciprocal health care agreements with the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, Italy, Malta, Finland, The Netherlands and Sweden. The agreement provides health care for emergency treatment and does not cover costs arising en route, elective treatment, ambulance services or allied health services. Health insurance is strongly recommended - check with your travel agent about policies.

You may like to offer constructive feedback to our operators to ensure facilities are constantly updated and improved.
