About Premier Illawarra
Servicing the Illawarra For 25+ Years
The Premier Motor Service Family
Premier Motor Service has been connecting communities across the East Coast since 1929. What began as a modest local bus service has grown into one of Australia’s most trusted transport providers, carrying thousands of passengers safely to their destinations every day.
Premier combines the personal touch of a locally focused operator with the resources, expertise and professional standards of a larger network. This means our community gets the best of both worlds: drivers who know the area, services tailored to local needs, and the reliability that comes from nearly a century of experience.
Proudly Local, Professionally Operated
We’re more than just a bus company. We’re your neighbours, parents of local school students, and active members of the Illawarra community. Our drivers and support staff live here, work here, and care deeply about keeping our region connected.
Every day, we transport students to school, workers to their jobs, families to appointments, and visitors exploring everything the Illawarra has to offer. We take that responsibility seriously, which is why safety, punctuality and customer service are at the heart of everything we do.
Modern Fleet, Comfortable Journeys
Our investment in a modern, well-maintained fleet ensures passengers travel in comfort and safety. Our buses feature air conditioning, comfortable seating, accessibility features and the latest technology to support reliable, efficient operations. Whether you’re commuting daily or travelling occasionally, we’re committed to making your journey as pleasant as possible.
Community Partnership
Our permanent bus layover facility on Atchison Street, opened in 2025 after nearly 30 years at a temporary site, demonstrates our long-term commitment to the region. The popular Gong Shuttle (secured for another three years of fare-free travel) shows what’s possible when local operators, government and community work together.
As the Illawarra grows and evolves, so do we. We’re constantly reviewing our routes, improving our services and exploring new ways to meet the changing needs of our community. From expanding school services to supporting major events and providing flexible charter options, Premier is here for the long haul.
