Active Care Network in Kingswood, Western Sydney has become the first community transport operator in NSW to launch an electric bus with the acquisition of its new 14-seat fully electric Joylong commuter bus this month.
The bus purchase is the first step in the provider’s transition towards zero transmissions and takes the community transport sector one step closer to creating a greener, cleaner, and healthier future for our communities.
Active Care Network CEO Ben Jackson said, “The price of the new bus compares favourably with current diesel bus prices but combined with the dramatic reduction in running costs – for fuel, servicing and ongoing maintenance – it helps us maximise our productivity as we make an early move into an electric future.”
The new bus is configured to accommodate wheelchair access and has front and rear air conditioning, fabric seats and adjustable back rests, helping to make it more comfortable for passengers. With safety features including three-point seat belts for all passengers, driver and front passenger air bags, the new bus will offer safety, a quieter ride and improved comfort levels for drivers and passengers.
When Clients were asked what they thought of their first ride on the bus, they expressed resounding joy that the bus was “very comfortable, terrific, and quiet” and would love to ride on it again.
Well done to Ben and the Active Care Network Team in taking us one step close to a cleaner, greener world!

Dementia Australia is pleased to announce its annual awareness week – Dementia Action Week – will be held from 21-27 September 2020 and is encouraging people to ‘save the date’ and register online for more information.
The national awareness week will begin on 21 September, which is World Alzheimer’s Day.
Dementia Australia CEO Maree McCabe has encouraged all Australians to get behind our national awareness week activities and save the date in your calendar.
“Without a medical breakthrough, the number of people living with dementia is expected to grow from 447,000 Australians today to almost 1.1 million by 2058, with many more families, friends and carers impacted”, Ms McCabe said.
“That’s why it’s so important we use this week to raise awareness, across all of Australia, of this disease and the discrimination we know people with dementia face every day.
“We know many community organisations and health care professionals use this week to raise awareness in their local groups and communities, so we invite people to ‘save the date’ and register their interest to receive resources closer to Dementia Action Week.”
Over the coming months, Dementia Australia will release more information about Dementia Action Week, including resources for community organisations. Interested individuals and groups can register their interest in these resources at https://www.dementia.org.au/dementia-action-week.
Dementia Australia is the national peak body and charity for people, of all ages, living with all forms of dementia, their families and carers. It provides advocacy, support services, education and information. An estimated 447,000 people have dementia in Australia. This number is projected to reach almost 1.1 million by 2058. Dementia Australia is the new voice of Alzheimer’s Australia. Dementia Australia’s services are supported by the Australian Government.
