Assist-Travel/Transport

Assist-Travel/Transport services are designed to support individuals with disabilities by providing safe and accessible travel options. Whether it’s for daily commuting, attending appointments, or going on recreational outings, our services ensure that individuals can travel comfortably and independently. We offer transportation that caters to a wide range of needs, ensuring that individuals with mobility challenges, sensory impairments, or other specific disabilities can travel with ease and confidence.

NDIS Funding for Assist-Travel/Transport

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding for Assist-Travel/Transport services under the Capacity Building category, specifically for participants who require support with transportation needs. This funding allows individuals to access transport that accommodates their specific requirements, ensuring that they can maintain their independence and participate fully in the community.

Funding is typically allocated to cover the cost of:

• Transport to and from essential appointments or community activities.
• Assistance with entering, exiting, and safely traveling within vehicles.
• Travel for recreational or social purposes to promote community participation.

Types of Assistance Provided

Our Assist-Travel/Transport services are flexible and tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. Services include:

1. Personalized Transport Assistance: Our vehicles are equipped with the necessary adaptations for people with varying disabilities, such as wheelchair access, lift systems, and more.
2. Companion Travel: We provide a support worker to accompany individuals during travel, ensuring safety and comfort throughout the journey.
3. Non-Emergency Medical Transport: Transport to medical appointments, therapy sessions, and health-related services.
4. Community Participation: We offer transport to community events, social outings, and recreational activities, encouraging individuals to stay connected with the world around them.

Securing Assist-Travel/Transport in Your NDIS Plan

Assist-Travel/Transport services can be included in your NDIS plan if travel support aligns with your goals. If transportation is a vital part of your daily activities, you may be eligible for funding to help cover the costs. If travel needs are not included in your current plan, it’s possible to request a plan review. Work with your NDIS Planner or Local Area Coordinator to ensure that the services you need are properly addressed in your plan.

Eligibility and Flexibility

Eligibility for Assist-Travel/Transport services is based on the individual’s support requirements and goals outlined in their NDIS plan. The funding can be used flexibly to cater to different types of transportation needs. Whether it’s for routine travel or occasional outings, we ensure that every participant can access services that align with their personal circumstances.

When Assist-Travel/Transport Services Are Not Funded

NDIS funding does not cover the cost of general transportation services or regular travel that is not related to disability support needs. For example:

• Travel for leisure purposes unrelated to disability needs.
• Transport costs outside the NDIS scope, such as long-term transport arrangements not related to medical or support needs.
