New found freedom at Freedom Wheels Noosa

When he retired Jeff Rice wanted to find something to do which allowed him to be more involved in the Noosa community.

And so, wheelchair friendly personal transport service Freedom Wheels Noosa was born.

“My wife and I have been part of the Noosa community for 13 years,” Jeff explained.

“I recently retired from a maintenance engineering career and found myself wanting to be more involved in the community.

“My wife is a carer for the disabled, so I get to hear of the challenges faced by disabled people.

“My father is wheelchair bound and on a recent visit to see him I was intrigued by the wheelchair access vehicles and excellent care provided by the company transporting him for a family outing.

“So, I guess my stars aligned and I’m really excited to bring this new service to the Noosa area.”

He said he wanted to provide a service for both aged and disabled with an emphasis on friendliness and care.

“I have a few regular clients who are really appreciating the service I provide to SKUH and return,” he said.

“We cater for the elderly and/or disabled and provide a prompt friendly service at very competitive rates. And we have certified driver and vehicle with insurances in place.”

Freedom Wheels Noosa services the services the greater Noosa area and can provide transport as far as SCUH and Nambour hospitals, and the Sunshine Coast Airport.

For enquiries and bookings please call Jeff direct on 0481 190 744.
