Return to Country Trips – Comfy Travel

Culturally Respectful, Supported Journeys Home

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have a strong attachment to the concept of “Return to Country.” Being reunited with family members and land, together with cultural heritage and community, brings healing as well as pride and a sense of belonging to the people. Many people who need disability support find it difficult to return to their country of origin. The experienced team at Comfy Travel organises Return to Country trips, which combine cultural sensitivity with accessibility for travellers with any mobility needs.

What Is a Return to Country Trip?

Return to Country trips enable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to return to their homelands where they can join their community and participate in cultural activities and important events including ceremonies and funerals and family reunions. These travel experiences serve as essential components for spiritual wellness and personal identity development and general well-being.
Organizing a Return to Country trip requires additional planning steps for people with disabilities. The process of planning such a trip involves booking wheelchair-accessible vehicles and accessible accommodations in remote locations while arranging support staff or family members to join the trip and managing health routines and medication needs. Comfy Travel offers respectful and reliable solutions for all aspects of planning your trip.

Our Commitment – Making Respite Meaningful

Every Return to Country journey receives individualised attention from our staff because we understand that each experience has its unique character. Our team collaborates with participants, their families, community leaders, and support coordinators to create customised trips that fulfil cultural, personal, and health requirements. You can also visit our partner company, www.supportpoint.au, who provides Australia-wide support Coordination for any support coordination advice.

1. Accessible and Reliable Transport

We provide transportation solutions tailored to meet the individual needs of accessing remote desert communities, coastal homelands, and distant towns. The company offers wheelchair-accessible vehicles, modified buses, and community transportation services, including pickups and flights, to meet various transportation needs. Our drivers, along with our travel partners, possess a cultural understanding, as well as experience in providing support for individuals with disabilities.

2. Culturally Appropriate Accommodation

We help clients find accessible accommodations located near their home community, family members, and cultural events. We select accommodation types from homestays to community guesthouses, serviced apartments, and remote motels to meet all mobility, sensory, and health needs.
