The story behind Wheelaway
The idea eventuated when Paul’s mum became wheelchair bound and they needed to move her out of her nursing home. Taxis were unreliable and so they bought a vehicle to run her around. Through talking to people in the community and hearing that others were struggling with the same issue they decided to begin a part time business. With the support of Dianne and demand growing, the business has flourished and Wheelaway is now operating in both Victoria and New South Wales.
