How NDIS transport funding works
Transport is funded separately in your plan and is generally paid to you to pay for the transport you use. Some participants can also claim support worker travel when a worker transports you as part of a shift. We explain which applies to you, and how to use it without running out of budget early.
What we help with
We support travel as part of a support worker shift, not as a taxi service. That means a familiar worker picks you up, supports you through the appointment or activity, and gets you home safely. It works for medical appointments, work and study, community outings, and getting to our fortnightly BBQ.
- Medical and therapy appointments across Brisbane
- Getting to and from work or study
- Community activities and social outings
- The fortnightly BBQ and regular group events
Self-managed, plan-managed and agency-managed
How you claim transport depends on how your plan is managed. Self-managed and plan-managed participants have more flexibility in how they pay for travel. We walk you through exactly how invoicing works for your setup before anything starts, so there are no surprises.
Planning a reliable week
The most common transport problem is not cost, it is reliability. We book recurring trips ahead, send the same workers where possible, and build a weekly pattern you can count on. When something changes at short notice, we move things around rather than leave you stranded.
