OUR MOB - DRIVING TARNI FORWARD

Like the sacred land we inhabit, our traditions, languages, and customs are varied, reflecting how special each Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community is to this country.

And so, as our team of Remote Rideshare drivers grows, each person’s mob/language name is added to our interactive map below to recognise the diversity and heritage across Country.

Our vision is to see this footprint grow throughout the country as we increase our impact over time.
