Understanding transport under the NDIS

Transport funding under the NDIS helps participants travel to and from activities related to their goals and plan. The NDIS recognises that reliable transport is essential for accessing employment, education, social participation, and community involvement.

Transport funding is allocated at three levels based on your circumstances. Level 1 is for participants who can use public transport without assistance. Level 2 is for those who can use public transport with some help, such as a companion or taxi for some trips. Level 3 is for participants who cannot use public transport at all and rely on taxis, rideshare services, or private vehicles for all travel. Your transport level is determined during your planning meeting based on your functional capacity and the availability of accessible public transport in your area.

Your transport budget can be used flexibly across different modes of travel. This includes taxi fares, rideshare services, community transport programs, fuel costs for private vehicles (paid at a per-kilometre rate when a family member or carer drives you), and modified taxi services. Wheelchair-accessible taxis are covered, and the cost is usually higher than standard taxis due to the specialised vehicles involved.

If you’re self-managed, keeping records of your transport spending is essential. Save receipts, log trips with dates, destinations, and purposes, and reconcile your spending against your budget regularly. Plan-managed participants should ensure their plan manager is processing transport invoices promptly so you can track your remaining budget.

It’s worth noting that transport funding under the NDIS is separate from other travel-related supports. For example, if a support worker drives you to an appointment, their travel time may be billed separately as provider travel, which comes from a different funding category. Similarly, aged care transport supports through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme are not interchangeable with NDIS transport funding.
