Hello, I’m Laura, the founder of Rides With Care.

I love engaging with people, hearing their stories, and helping make their day a little brighter.
My approach is practical, respectful, and nurturing – always focused on safety, comfort, and dignity.

If you’re nearby, please contact me – I’ll always do my best to help.
Laura has been an absolute lifesaver for our family. Mum lives in Balwyn, and knowing Laura can get her to appointments and stay with her when needed has given us so much peace of mind. She’s kind, patient, and completely reliable.
We found Rides with Care when looking for support for my dad to get to his local medical appointments around Mont Albert, and specialist appointments closer to the city and Laura has been fantastic. She goes well beyond just transport. She helps dad to the car, assists him to get in to the appointments and waits for him, then does the same when his appointments are complete. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her service.
I live in Hawthorn and use Rides with Care for help getting to get my hair done, doing my shopping, visiting friends and I couldn’t be happier with the service. Laura is friendly, punctual, and always makes sure I feel comfortable. It’s reassuring to know I have someone I can rely on…. and I enjoy our chats whilst travelling.
I support seniors who want to remain independent but appreciate caring, hands-on assistance when travelling. Ideal for those needing help getting to medical appointments, shopping, errands, or social outings, as well as families seeking peace of mind knowing their loved one is travelling safely, comfortably, and with dignity.
