At Wheelaway, we’re passionate about making travel and mobility easier for people with disabilities, especially at major events like the F1 Grand Prix, Spring Racing Carnival, and the Australian Open. But accessibility doesn’t stop with transport — it’s about creating spaces and experiences where everyone feels welcome, safe, and truly included.
That’s why we’re excited to spotlight Aruma — a trusted leader in disability services — for the incredible work they do not just at events, but across Australia, supporting people with disability to live the life they choose.
Why sensory spaces matter
Large-scale events can be overwhelming — with bright lights, loud sounds, and big crowds. For people who are neurodiverse or those with sensory sensitivities, this can make it difficult to take part.
Aruma’s sensory spaces and quiet rooms offer a calm, low-stimulation environment where people can pause, self-regulate, and return to the event when they are ready.
Support, your way!
Aruma also provides one-on-one support, ensuring people with disability can enjoy events on their own terms. Whether it’s support with mobility, navigating crowds, or joining in activities, their skilled support workers offer personalised assistance tailored to each person’s needs.
This support can be the difference between attending or missing out entirely.
Aruma’s services beyond events
Beyond events, Aruma offers a wide range of services, including:
- NDIS Home and Living Supports – for greater independence and choice.
- Club Aruma – a welcoming space to connect, make friends, try new things, and reach your goals.
- Work Ready Program and Supported Employment – to develop skills and find meaningful work.
- Therapeutic Supports – including occupational therapy, speech therapy, and behaviour support.
- Children’s Services – tailored therapies to help children thrive.
At Aruma, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. You know how to live your best life — Aruma is there to help make it happen.
How Aruma and Wheelaway work together
At Wheelaway, we focus on the journey, providing reliable, comfortable, fully accessible transport at major events.
Aruma focuses on the experience, delivering personalised support and inclusive services that ensure people with disability can fully participate, feel valued, and enjoy every moment.
Looking ahead
Together, Wheelaway and Aruma are working toward a more inclusive Australia, where everyone can explore, connect, and belong.
