CTP transport · Penrith
CTP transport in Penrith. Recovery, without the drive.
RideDirect carries people injured in a motor accident around Penrith and the outer west to the appointments that get them better — treatment, rehabilitation and medico-legal reviews. Door to door, with a carer if they need one.
Trips run under the NSW Motor Accident Injuries scheme and bill direct to the CTP insurer against the claim — no card at the door, no reimbursement paperwork while you recover.
Who it’s for
A road injury. Billed to the insurer.
If you’ve been hurt in a motor accident — a car, motorcycle, bus or pedestrian crash — and have a CTP claim open, RideDirect carries you to the appointments that keep the recovery moving. NSW CTP is the green-slip cover on every registered vehicle, regulated by SIRA under the Motor Accident Injuries scheme, and the injured person pays nothing at the door.
The booking usually comes from a CTP claims manager, an insurer arranging approved travel, or a rehabilitation provider coordinating a course of care — though the injured person and their family can book against a claim that is already open. We capture the CTP insurer and the claim or reference number at booking, and it rides onto the trip record and the invoice, which goes direct to the insurer.

What the trip covers
Treatment doesn’t wait. Neither do we.
Transport for a motor-accident claim is part of the treatment plan, not a nice-to-have — a missed physio session can set a recovery back, and a late arrival at an independent medical examination can cost a slot that took weeks to book. Here is what comes as standard on every trip.
- Door-to-door assistance — collected at the door, walked to the vehicle, and helped to the entrance at the appointment. Not a kerbside drop, which matters when someone is stiff and sore after a crash.
- Booked-ahead pickups with buffer built in, so a physio block, a specialist review or an independent medical examination is never missed because the car ran late.
- Standing trips for a course of treatment — set a weekly rehab or hydrotherapy run once and it repeats, rather than re-booking every session.
- Wheelchair-accessible vehicles on request, with mobility aids secured by trained drivers — not improvised with a seatbelt.
- A carer, support worker or family member travels with the injured person at no extra cost.
- The claim or reference number captured at booking and carried onto the trip record and the invoice.
Around Penrith
The outer west, and the long haul in.
Penrith sits at the far western edge of the metro, anchored by Nepean Hospital at Kingswood, the major hospital for the outer west. A lot of local recovery travel runs to Nepean Hospital for treatment, imaging and outpatient rehab — short trips, but ones where being collected at the door counts when someone is on crutches or in a brace.
The medico-legal side is where the distance bites. Independent medical examinations and specialist reviews for a CTP claim often sit on the far side of the city — the CBD, the North Shore, the eastern suburbs — a long haul from the foot of the mountains. We carry those runs daily, timed so the appointment isn’t missed and billed straight to the insurer, whether it’s five minutes to Kingswood or an hour across town.
