Companion Driving Service in Newcastle & Lake Macquarie

Our trusted Companion Driving Service provides door-to-door support with care, conversation, and dignity at the centre of every journey. At My Companion Services, we believe that getting from A to B should be easy, comfortable, and safe — especially when a little extra support can make all the difference. There are many benefits with companion care and we offer more than just a companion driving service. Regardless, if it’s a medical appointment, a trip to the shops, or a visit with loved ones, we’re here to ensure you get there and back with confidence.

We proudly serve individuals across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, including older adults, people living independently with a disability, new parents, and anyone who needs a trusted hand on the road. Our service is personalised, flexible, and focused on building genuine human connection — because we believe transport should never feel like a barrier to living a full, connected life.

What Is a Companion Driving Service?

Caring for elderly parents or a loved one can be difficult at the best of times and being available 24/7 to get them from one place to another can be a hard task. Particularly when you have other commitments of your own. Our companion driving services go beyond traditional transport.

Our friendly drivers are also trained companions, offering hands-on assistance, emotional support, and social interaction throughout the journey. We don’t just drop you off at the kerb. We come to your door, help you prepare, accompany you into your destination if needed, and make sure you get home safely.

Each driver is:

• Fully licensed and insured

• Police and reference checked

• Trained in Advanced First Aid

• Passionate about providing safe, respectful, and friendly assistance

Whether you need help navigating stairs, carrying your shopping, using a walker, or just want a warm conversation on the road, we’re here to make it happen with kindness and professionalism.

Our companion driving services are available to a wide range of clients across the Newcastle and Lake Macquarie region. We commonly support:

• Anyone experiencing transport limitations or social isolation

We customise every journey to your comfort level, mobility, and personal preferences. Whether it’s one trip or ongoing weekly support, we’re ready when you are.
