STAR provides award-winning aged care and disability support services in the communities of Redlands, Ipswich, Logan, Darling Downs and Gold Coast.

I want to express my thanks to my STAR drivers. Both drivers were wonderful and I was able to slide easily into both vehicles.

I am so pleased with the job that Mark carried out on my screen doors. He did a marvellous job. Thank you STAR.

Bernadette

I am extremely happy with the transport services I get through my Home Care Package. If anything can be perfect, that’s how I rate you. Special thanks to all the wonderful drivers.

Until I was allowed to drive regularly to and from dialysis at Redland Hospital, I depended on STAR to get me there. The volunteers who drive are all interesting and very special people. The trips were a joy. My husband and I are happy to know we can call on you when necessary. Thank you STAR.

My thanks to the Redlands team and a Merry Christmas to all your volunteer drivers. My mum, Valma Thompson uses your service regularly and it has been a lifesaver for her and regaining her independence after a long stint in the hospital. Our family is very much appreciative of STAR.

Hi, I would like to thank STAR for STAR Tech and Neha especially. The Startech program especially during Covid has to me been exciting, educational, and has helped me greatly with my confidence using a computer (for which my children are very happy). Out of 10 I give Startech a 10!

My daughter is an NDIS participant. I highly recommend Star as there staff and volunteers are so helpful and friendly. Since a Star support worker has been coming out in the mornings, things have been running smoothly and my daughter is so much happier. I am very happy with Star.

I have been a PC user for many years, and did not think that I ever needed a tablet. Wrong, since attending the workshop I have discovered a whole new world of radio, TV stations and a variety of podcasts available. I encourage seniors to take advantage of this informative workshop!

RE STAR TECH Course: I appreciated the opportunity to learn to use the tablet and also this course allowed me to learn at my own pace. Everybody was so helpful so I didn't feel intimidated to ask the most basic questions. I now understand more about technology and how it can be used.

I don't need a carer! My wife said, 'You do not need a Carer, how about a Buddy?' That was in February 2019 and my Buddy has been here 2-3 days a week since, sometimes 4 hours a day, sometimes 6. The list of things we have accomplished together is astonishing.

When my husband of 46 years passed way, I struggled with living on my own. I first joined STAR when I needed someone to drive me to my specialist appointments. It put my mind at ease to know I can ring STAR. STAR has helped me maintain my independence and a good quality life.

Peter- an NDIS participant, started his journey with STAR when he was accessing the Beelarong community farm and used transport to attend appointments. “STAR has given me the ability to see something that interests me, rather than worrying about how I’m going to get there.”

STAR helps me get to all my appointments on time. I really like the fact that all the drivers are so pleasant. I have mobility issues. They help me in and out of vehicles. They are so patient. STAR companion volunteer Gloria visits me once a fortnight too. We get along so well.

I have been using STAR transport for a long time. When I got approved for a Home Care Package, it was a natural choice for me to continue with STAR. With my Home Care Package, I have been able to get access to options, to live on my own, to get out, socialise.

Eighty-Six years old, Dietmar Traub has a Level 2 Home Care Package. He lives with a hearing impairment, which has severely limited his ability to communicate with his loved ones. Recently, Dietmar’s family and Charlene- STAR Care Coordinator, found a device - Dietmar was able to make his first call to his daughter in years!

As a wheelchair-fast client with cerebral palsy I have used STAR services for four years since living in the Redlands. My primary use is with STAR Transport and I have found staff and volunteers to be friendly, courteous and reliable. The wheelchair accessible buses have taken me to a variety of venues. Thank you STAR.

I use STAR Community Services for transport and have had some Tech sessions on my tablet at your offices in Cleveland. All the people I've dealt with have been courteous and helpful. I would be lost without Star to help me get about. Thank you all for the necessary help that you provide. Best wishes, Dorothy

My wife and I are new to your organisation and would like to thank all for the excellent service. We have had several trips here on the Gold Coast. All drivers are polite and courteous. Your driver Pat, has transported me (Reg) on three occasions. Super service. Thank you to all.
