Our history

Linked Community Services exists to deliver quality services that link people to the community to promote independence and inclusion. For almost 40 years, Linked Community Services has been achieving this mission.

The Linked Community Services that exists today is an amalgamation of three community transport organisations, Hastings Macleay Community Transport (established January 1986), Community Transport Port Stephens (established May 1984) and Care'N'go in the Manning Valley.

The organisation evolved and developed from humble beginnings, starting out with a very small group of volunteers providing public transport for people living with disadvantage within the region.

Today, Linked Community Services comprises a Board of Directors, 56 employees, over 100 volunteers and 78 fleet vehicles, with plans for an extended range of community services beyond transport.

At Linked Community Services, remaining dynamic to our client’s needs into the future ensures that we can continue to help them live as independently as possible.

As their needs change, our services will too. The one thing that won’t change is our focus on providing safe, reliable and friendly service to our clients.
