Aged Care Transport Software, Built Around Your Clients
Elderly clients depend on reliable, consistent transport to medical appointments, therapy sessions, and social activities. Waybill gives aged care transport providers the tools to manage recurring schedules, track mobility needs, match every client with a familiar driver, and report to funders — all from one platform.
Recurring Medical Appointments
Elderly clients often have regular medical commitments — weekly dialysis, fortnightly physiotherapy, monthly GP check-ups. Waybill's recurring job system ensures these appointments are never missed.
- Recurring job templates — Set up a transport template once for each client's regular appointment. Waybill automatically generates individual jobs on the scheduled days.
- Flexible patterns — Daily, weekly on specific days, biweekly, or custom intervals. Match any client's medical schedule, no matter how complex.
- Auto-expand schedules — Jobs are generated ahead of time so dispatchers and drivers can see upcoming commitments days or weeks in advance.
- Easy exceptions — Client not attending next week? Cancel a single occurrence without disrupting the rest of the recurring schedule.
- Preferred driver and vehicle — Lock in a preferred driver and accessible vehicle for each recurring template, ensuring consistency for the client.
Mobility & Care Requirements
Every elderly client has different mobility levels and care needs. Waybill stores detailed profiles so dispatchers always assign the right vehicle and drivers always know what to expect.
- Mobility aid tracking — Record whether a client uses a walking frame, wheelchair, crutches, or mobility scooter. This information flows through to vehicle matching and driver briefings.
- Medical conditions — Note conditions that affect transport — dementia, vision impairment, fall risk, oxygen dependency — so drivers can provide appropriate care and assistance.
- Special handling requirements — Document if a client needs door-to-door assistance, help with steps, extra time for boarding, or a carer to accompany them.
- Emergency contacts — Store next-of-kin and facility contact details on the passenger profile, accessible to drivers and dispatchers when needed.
- Vehicle matching — Waybill checks that the assigned vehicle can accommodate the client's mobility aids. A client with a wheelchair gets a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, every time.
Familiar Driver Assignments
For elderly clients, a familiar face is more than a convenience — it provides comfort and safety. Waybill helps you maintain consistent driver-client pairings so trust is built over time.
- Preferred driver matching — Assign a preferred driver to each client's recurring schedule. The same driver is automatically assigned to every generated job.
- Relationship continuity — Elderly clients, especially those with dementia or anxiety, respond better to drivers they recognise. Consistent pairings reduce distress and improve the transport experience.
- Driver briefing — When a substitute driver is needed, they see the client's full profile including mobility needs, medical notes, and any tips from the regular driver.
- Driver availability tracking — See which drivers are available for each time slot. When a preferred driver is on leave, dispatchers can quickly find and brief a suitable replacement.
Family & Facility Communication
Families and aged care facilities need to know that their loved ones and residents are being transported safely. Waybill's workflow automation can keep everyone informed without manual effort from your team.
- Automated status notifications — Set up workflow rules to automatically notify family members or facility staff when a client is picked up, in transit, or delivered.
- Real-time job tracking — Dispatchers see the live status of every job. When a family member calls to ask "Has Mum been picked up?", the answer is always at hand.
- Workflow-driven alerts — Create rules that trigger notifications for specific events: driver running late, job completed, or client not ready at pickup.
- Complete trip records — Every trip is logged with timestamps, driver details, and status changes. Families and facilities can request records for any period.
