Assist Travel / Transport

🚗 NDIS Support Category: 0108 – Assist Travel / Transport

Helping you get where you need to go – safely and independently

✅ What is This Support?

This category helps NDIS participants who can’t use public transport due to their disability. It provides funding to cover travel and transport costs so you can go to school, work, appointments, or social activities.

🚌 What Services Are Included?

Supports in this category can include:

• Transport to and from work or education

• Help getting to appointments or programs

• Funding for taxi or community transport

• Specialist transport services with modified vehicles

• Travel training (if covered in other categories like Capacity Building)

This support is usually for people who can’t travel independently and don’t have informal supports (like family or friends) who can drive them regularly.

​

🧍 Who is This For?

This support is ideal for people who:

• Cannot use public transport due to their disability

• Need help getting to activities in their NDIS plan

• Don’t have a regular carer or family member available to drive them

📝 How to Get These Supports

1. Talk to your NDIS planner about your transport needs.

2. Get “Assist Travel / Transport” (0108) included in your plan.

3. If you’re eligible, you’ll receive regular payments to help cover costs, or your provider may bill NDIS directly.

4. Choose a transport provider if needed (like taxis, ride services, or support workers with vehicles).
