LOCAL AREA
Taxi service in Nedlands & Melville
Patient, reliable transport from Swan River Cabs for Perth’s major hospital precincts — QEII Medical Centre, Fiona Stanley Hospital, and everywhere in between.
Home to two of Perth’s biggest hospital precincts
Nedlands is home to the QEII Medical Centre, including Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and King Edward Memorial Hospital, plus UWA. Melville is close to Fiona Stanley Hospital. We drive both areas regularly for medical appointments, treatment schedules and hospital visits.
Our drivers understand that a hospital trip isn’t like any other ride — we build in extra time, help with mobility where needed, and get you there calmly. We also cover general local rides across Nedlands, Crawley, Dalkeith, Applecross and Booragoon.

Pickup points we know well
Hospital precincts are genuinely hard to navigate. QEII alone has multiple entrances, restricted drop-off zones and long walks from the public car parks. Tell us the building or clinic and we will meet you at the right door rather than the nearest one.
- QEII Medical Centre — we will confirm which entrance suits your clinic
- Sir Charles Gairdner — outpatients, admissions and discharges
- Perth Children’s Hospital — family pickups with prams and equipment
- Hollywood Private Hospital — Monash Avenue, Nedlands
- Fiona Stanley Hospital — the Murdoch precinct south of the river
- UWA & Broadway — campus, student and residential pickups
Why patients and families ride with us
Unhurried help getting in and out
Appointments are stressful enough. Our drivers give you time, help with bags and walking frames, and will wait while you get settled rather than idling impatiently at the kerb.
Regular bookings for ongoing treatment
If you are travelling for dialysis, chemotherapy or rehabilitation, we can set up a recurring booking so the same trip is arranged each time without you having to explain it again.
Wheelchair accessible vehicles
Ramp-equipped vehicles are part of our fleet. Let us know when you book so the right vehicle is assigned rather than a standard sedan turning up.
Fixed fares for repeat trips
The fare is quoted upfront and does not change with traffic, which makes budgeting far easier when you are making the same journey every week.
