What is transport assistance?
NDIS transport funding helps participants get to and from activities, appointments, work, education, and social events. This can include funding for taxis, ride-share services, modified vehicle costs, community transport, or support worker time spent driving you. Transport funding recognises that many participants face barriers to using public transport independently.
🚗 NDIS Transport assistance rates (2025–26)
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.
