Non-South Australian Transport Subsidy Scheme Access Taxi Card

Non-South Australian Transport Subsidy Scheme (SATSS) Access Taxi Cards are for people who:

You can still book an Access Taxi if you don’t have a non-SATSS Access Taxi card.

Lifting fee

The South Australian Government pays a $25 lifting fee to accredited drivers for all Access Taxi passengers who:

use a wheelchair, scooter or large (ride-on) mobility aide
have a South Australian Transport Subsidy Scheme (SATSS) member ID card or a non-SATSS Access Taxi Card.

Passengers do not pay this fee. It is paid to drivers by the state government.

You can register if:

SATSS helps to cover taxi fares.

You may be eligible for SATSS if you:

Book your trip through the metropolitan Access Taxi Centralised Booking Service or an accredited country taxi operator with an accessible vehicle.
Tell them you have a non-SATSS Access Taxi Card.
Show your card to the driver at the start of your trip so they can scan it.
If you signed up for notifications, your carer or contact will get a text or email with a link to view a map of your trip. The link will be valid for 2 hours.
At the end of your trip, the driver will scan your card again.
If you gave your email when you registered for the card, you will get an email summary of your trip and fare.

The driver will receive the $25 lifting fee to cover their time helping you in and out of the Access Taxi.

If you already have a SATSS member ID card, you don’t need to do anything new. Just keep using your card as usual.
