ACCESSING THE COMMUNITY

Accessing the Community

Promoting independence is a common goal within the NDIS, and transportation plans are a crucial aspect of achieving this. The NDIS travel and transport funding provides opportunities to connect with friends, commute to work, and explore your local community. If you experience significant challenges in using public transport due to your condition, and the NDIS consider it reasonable and necessary, you may be eligible to access funding for transport assistance through the NDIS.

Travel and transport services may include:

Learning how to use public transport independently with a support worker
Assistance with using public transport such as buses, trams, and trains
Taxi and rideshare (Uber) fares for short trips up to 20km
Transport assistance for trips over 20km. This includes car hire, rental vehicles or a vehicle driven by a support worker or family member
Vehicle modifications or specialist equipment such as hoists or ramps

What type of travel and transport is funded under the NDIS?

There are two main types of travel and transport supports.
General Transport is when you need to move from one place to another and you are paying for a private car service or using public transportation such as a bus, taxi, or Uber for an activity.
Activity-based Transport (ABT) refers to instances where the support worker providing the transportation also assist you at the destination. For example, when you participate in community engagement your support worker stays with you and supports you during your activity.
