What is NDIS Travel & Transport Support?

Under the NDIS framework, transport support is designed for participants who find it difficult to use public transport without assistance due to their disability. Our services are split into two core areas: Direct Transport Assistance (getting you from A to B) and Capacity Building (teaching you how to travel independently).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Transport support can appear in your NDIS plan in a few different ways:

  1. Core Supports (Transport Allowance):Direct funding paid regularly to your bank account or managed through a provider for transport costs.
  2. Core Supports (Assistance with Social & Community Participation):Funding used to pay for a support worker’s time to accompany you on community trips.
  3. Capacity Building (Finding and Keeping a Job / Increased Social Participation):Funding used specifically for public transport or travel training.

We provide transport using standard support worker vehicles for participants with general mobility needs. If you require specialized wheelchair-accessible vehicles (WAV) with hoists or ramps, please contact our intake team and we will do our best to connect you with alternative providers.

If a support worker drives you in their personal vehicle during a shift, a per-kilometer rate is billed in alignment with current NDIS pricing limits. We outline all these details clearly in your Service Agreement before we begin.
