Frequently asked questions
How much does NDIS transport assistance cost in Cairns?
Transport funding in the NDIS is typically provided as a fixed budget amount within Core supports. If your support worker provides transport during their shift, the standard support worker rate of $70.23/hr applies. For kilometres driven, providers can claim $0.99/km (standard vehicle) or $2.76/km (modified vehicle). Transport is the one Core category that funds generally cannot be moved from.
How do I choose an NDIS transport assistance provider in Cairns?
Start by checking whether the provider is NDIS registered, reading reviews from other participants, and confirming they have experience with your disability type. ProviderScout lets you compare providers in Cairns side by side. Also ask your support coordinator for local recommendations.
Am I eligible for transport assistance under the NDIS?
Transport is funded under Core Supports but is ring-fenced — unlike other Core categories, you generally cannot move funds into or out of transport. The amount of transport funding in your plan depends on your individual circumstances, including whether you can use public transport and how often you need to travel for disability-related purposes.
Can I change my transport assistance provider?
Yes. You have full choice and control over your providers under the NDIS. You can switch providers at any time, subject to any notice periods in your service agreement. Use ProviderScout to find alternative transport assistance providers in Cairns.
