Welcome Bus Tours support people who are new to Ballarat and surrounding areas to better understand their local community.

Delivered in a supportive group setting, the tours introduce participants to key places such as shopping areas, health services, community facilities, and public spaces.

The program helps reduce uncertainty and build confidence, supporting independence by making local services and locations more familiar. Staff are available to share information, answer questions, and support participants throughout the tour.

Activities

  • Guided bus tours visiting key local services, facilities, and community spaces
  • Information shared about how to access everyday services and supports
  • Opportunities for group discussion and questions during the tour
