We run out of 36A Cargill St, a couple of streets back from the Albany Highway cafe strip. That matters more than it sounds. A wheelchair accessible vehicle has to be dispatched from wherever it finished its last job, and in a city the size of Perth that can mean a long empty run before the driver even reaches you. In Victoria Park it usually does not.
The suburb itself is a mix that suits door-to-door work: older single-storey homes on narrow verges around Lathlain and Carlisle, newer apartment blocks along the highway and around Burswood, and a steady stream of appointments at Bentley Health Service and the clinics along Albany Highway. Our drivers know which of those buildings have a flat approach, which need the ramp set down on the road rather than the kerb, and which apartment carparks have the height clearance for a high-roof van.
Trips from Victoria Park are short and cheap by Perth standards. The CBD is over the Causeway. Perth Airport is a straight run east on Great Eastern Highway. Optus Stadium and Crown are a few minutes north. That keeps metered fares low, and a purple PTSS card takes 75% off the top of them.
