Hi there! I’m Paul Wagland and along with my partner, Mel White, we are the proud owners of Driving Miss Daisy Bentleigh.

As a life-long resident of the Bentleigh, McKinnon and Ormond area, I have a genuine connection to our community. I enjoy sport and have represented our local football & cricket clubs from a young age, and Mel and I are currently active club and playing members at The Bentleigh Bowling Club.

We value our community, and as your local Daisies, we look forward to supporting those who are most vulnerable. We understand the importance of maintaining independence and the ability to embrace life to the fullest, irrespective of age or ability.

At Driving Miss Daisy Bentleigh, our mission is to enhance the lives of our valued community members by offering safe, reliable and friendly driving services that are far more than just transportation. We can take you to your local shops, even help you with finding specials on your weekly shopping list, and after we have driven you home, we can help unpack your groceries or bring the washing in from the clothesline!

We greet you at your door with a trusty umbrella if it is raining or just too hot. Then we assist you in whatever way you need, until you are safely home again.

We would love to assist you, a loved one, family member or even surprise a friend; by taking you to an appointment, lunch, shopping, or may be even for a surprise ‘mystery tour’? Whatever your need is, we are here to help (and have a bit of fun along the way). We will not only take you to an appointment, but can wait with you, and bring you safely home to your front door with all the help care, compassion and safety you and your loved ones deserve!

For your peace of mind, we are vetted by the Australian Police, are First Aid and Friends of Dementia trained, approved for Working with Children, and hold all the required Small Passenger Vehicle Licenses and special rideshare insurance.

We recognise that being older does have some limitations but does not mean our passengers are expecting a less-fulfilled life!

Join us soon to see why we, as part of national Driving Miss Daisy, share the goal to enable your own independence.

We look forward to meeting you and being your family when family can’t be there!™

"Paul drove me into the eye and ear hospital for an appointment. Paul was so lovely and supportive. I felt very safe with him. Usually I’m a nervous passenger but his driving skills were excellent. I’ve already booked him for another appointment as I really enjoyed his company as well as felt so comfortable"

- Carolyn

"Dear Paul of Driving Miss Daisy Bentleigh, it was my first experience of utilising the Driving Miss Daisy services. A South Australian, I was in Melbourne for my Mothers funeral with my Australian Lions Hearing Dog Gilly. I’m both hearing and vision impaired, and the service and professional support I received from Paul was beyond priceless. Airport navigation and funerals aren’t the easiest of gigs for anyone… have a wee disability factor thrown in adds an extra challenge... And yet having Paul and Driving Miss Daisy Bentleigh on our team for our five days in Melbourne was such a blessing. A warmer-hearted more generous and professional soul you couldn’t ask for. Gilly and I highly recommend them, with much gratitude."

- Liz and Gilly Service Dog

"Great service always on time and very efficient in what you do. I would recommend you to other people."

- Roger
