About Coacharoo
Sydney’s Dedicated School Transport Specialists
Coacharoo provides school transport for schools, universities, OOSH providers and educational organisations across Sydney, delivering safe, reliable and fully accredited coach and minibus transport.
Our Story
Coacharoo was founded in Sydney with a clear and focused purpose: to provide schools, educational institutions and care providers with a transport partner they could truly rely on. From the very beginning, the business was built around the specific needs of children, educators and the organisations responsible for their wellbeing.
What started as a passion for safe, dependable student transport has grown into one of Sydney’s most trusted names in school bus and coach hire. Every booking we handle, every driver we put on the road, and every vehicle we send out reflects our unwavering commitment to the safety and comfort of the young passengers in our care.
We understand that transporting students is not just a logistics exercise. It carries a level of responsibility that goes far beyond simply getting from A to B. That is why every element of our operation, from driver accreditation to vehicle maintenance, is held to the highest standard.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to be Sydney’s most trusted and capable school transport provider, delivering safe, punctual and comfortable journeys for students of all ages. We are fully committed to operating in strict compliance with all applicable NSW and Australian transport regulations, and we hold ourselves to a standard that goes well beyond the legal minimum.

Our Fleet
Safety and comfort go hand in hand at Coacharoo. Our fleet of buses, minibuses and coaches is specifically selected and maintained to meet the demands of student transport. Every vehicle in our fleet is accredited by Transport for NSW (TfNSW) and undergoes mandatory inspections every six months in accordance with Service NSW requirements.
Seatbelt vehicles can be confirmed on booking, in line with NSW student transport safety standards. We do not cut corners when it comes to the equipment that keeps your students safe.
Safety and Compliance
At Coacharoo, safety is not a selling point. It is the foundation of everything we do. We operate under a comprehensive compliance framework that meets and exceeds all relevant NSW and Australian transport regulations. When you book with us, you can have absolute confidence that your students are in safe, professional hands.
The Working with Children Check (WWCC) is a legal requirement under the Child Protection (Working with Children) Act 2012 (NSW) for anyone who works or volunteers in child-related work in New South Wales. It involves a National Police Check (criminal history record check) and an ongoing review of reportable workplace misconduct. All Coacharoo drivers hold a current and valid WWCC clearance.
Meet the Team
Coacharoo is run by a small, dedicated team with a big commitment to student safety and service quality. Our two principal contacts bring years of transport and customer service experience, and they are the faces behind every booking, query and journey we deliver.
Behind Rob and Colin is a team of professional, WWCC-cleared drivers who take enormous pride in the responsibility placed in their hands every day. Every driver is briefed on school and student transport protocols and is committed to making each journey safe, smooth and on time.
