Is This Funded Through My NDIS Plan?
Your NDIS plan is designed around your individual goals, and Travel & Transport support is a recognised funded support under the Core Supports budget category.
If transport barriers prevent you from participating in the community, attending appointments or achieving your goals, NDIS funding can be used to address these directly.
Your NDIS representative will work with you to ensure your plan reflects your transport needs — and your plan can be reviewed at any time if your circumstances change. Plan reviews are typically scheduled every one to two years.
For more information about NDIS funding and travel support, visit www.ndis.gov.au or call 1800 800 110.
