How the service works 

Once a Buddy is matched to you, they will arrive at your home at the agreed date and time.  If you are attending an outing or appointment; the Buddy will arrive ten minutes prior to the Activus vehicle ready to take you both to your destination.  The Buddy will accompany you throughout the journey until you return home.  For further enquiries and to book your Buddy call our  BuddyUp Coordinator on 8555 0000 between 9am – 4pm Monday to Friday.
