Travel and Transport
A participant will generally be able to access funding through the NDIS for transport assistance if the participant cannot use public transport without substantial difficulty due to their disability.

Transport allowance enables participants to access disability supports outside their home, and to achieve the goals in their plan.

General Transport, this support item allows a participant to pay a provider to transport them to an activity that is not itself a support – or to a support that is delivered by another provider.

This enables the participant to travel to and from appointments or their place of work.

If you have Core funding for “Travel” in your NDIS plan then you can access this support from us. Funding in your plan is flexible and is used to meet your needs, if you would like this support then let you Support Coordinator and Support Worker know.
Funding takes into account any relevant taxi subsidy scheme, and it does not cover transport assistance for carers to transport their family member with a disability for everyday commitments.
