About us

At Travel with Care Australia we provide compassionate, personalised travel support for those who need a little extra help to get where they’re going — whether that’s across town or across the country. We believe that age, illness, or mobility challenges should never stand in the way of experiencing the world.

Founded by Eva Forrest, a Registered Nurse in Western Australia with decades of experience across hospital settings, aged care, disabilities, and family care, we specialise in supporting those who are no longer able to travel independently due to chronic conditions, mobility or lack of family support:

  • Older adults with mobility issues or complex medical needs

  • People with disabilities who require one-on-one assistance

  • Anxious travellers needing calm, capable reassurance

  • Families with very young children who need hands-on help during transport or trips

From planning and bookings to transport, medication management, and emotional support, we’re here to make travel safe, stress-free, and possible for those who often feel excluded from it.

Whether it’s a coastal getaway, a short trip, a special holiday, ticking something off a lifelong bucket list or simply help getting from A to B, we offer experienced, nurse-led care that brings peace of mind to individuals and families alike.

Many of our clients live in nursing or retirement homes or feel isolated and unsure if travel is still possible. With us, it absolutely is! Because everyone deserves the chance to travel with confidence — and never feel like a burden along the way.

Let us turn your dream into a safe and unforgettable journey - because it's never too late to go somewhere special.
