Living with a disability often entails grappling with numerous core challenges, and mobility is a significant one. The ability to move around is essential for leading a typical life, but individual circumstances can pose obstacles to driving a car or using public transportation for yourself or a loved one. Access to alternative transportation options like taxis may also be limited, resulting in substantial limitations in terms of attending appointments, commuting to work or school, traveling, shopping, and visiting friends and family. One of the most formidable hurdles faced by individuals with disabilities is a sense of dependency stemming from these personal circumstances. However, with the assistance of Transport and Travel Services, a new level of independence can be achieved, allowing full participation in your community, social interactions, and personal tasks.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) takes various factors into account when determining your allocated funding. The support services must be both reasonable and necessary to assist you in attaining your goals, purpose, and aspirations. Transport and Travel Services are included in the Core Supports category, which encompasses the organisation and provision of transportation. However, it may also align with other Core Supports categories if your needs overlap. The specific structure of your NDIS Plan will dictate how you can utilise the allocated funds, whether they fall under Core Supports, Capacity Building, or Capital Funding. If you have uncertainties regarding the eligibility of your needs in this category, we can assist you in clarifying with the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) what falls within the scope of your personalised plan.

NDIS funding designated for transportation can cover various options, including community buses, taxis, or alternative means of conveyance for individuals with mobility limitations. Nevertheless, it cannot be utilised to reimburse a family member for providing transportation services. Transport funding available through the NDIS can additionally be directed towards activities aimed at boosting your confidence in utilising transportation. For instance, if you encounter challenges that hinder independent travel, the NDIS may support public transport training or driving lessons. The NDIS is also capable of financing travel alongside a support worker, who can accompany you to community engagements, social interactions, or daily activities. Typically, such funding falls under the Assistance with Social and Community Participation category. Furthermore, modifications to a private vehicle used for transportation, aimed at enhancing accessibility or ease of operation, can be funded by the NDIS under the Assistive Technology category.

If you need assistance with travel or transportation, please don't hesitate to contact us. You can reach out to us through our online platform, by phone, or in person. We are dedicated to connecting with you, assessing your specific requirements, identifying what falls under NDIS coverage, and matching you with our committed Aus Care CS A-Team. Together, we will collaboratively create a customised plan to ensure you can access your desired destinations promptly and safely, whether it's for community outings, appointments, school commutes, or any other travel needs. Keep in mind that the NDIS provides funding for reasonable and necessary support tailored to the unique needs of individuals with disabilities, and each participant's NDIS Plan is individualised. If your mobility is restricted due to a disability, and you are unable to drive or use public transportation, NDIS can offer a general transport allowance to make use of Aus Care CS's Transport and Travel Services.
