Getting around Adelaide should be simple and stress-free. If you're an NDIS participant, you may be eligible for NDIS transport support to help you travel to work, appointments, and community activities. We're here to help you understand your options and make the most of your plan.
NDIS transport assistance is funding included in your NDIS plan to help cover travel costs when your disability makes it difficult to use public transport. This support helps you get to work, study, medical appointments, and community activities.
Participants who cannot use public transport due to their disability, or who need support to travel safely.
Taxi fares, ride-share services, support worker travel assistance, and in some cases, vehicle modifications.
Transport funding sits in the Core Supports budget of your NDIS plan, under the "Assistance with Social and Community Participation" category.
Not every NDIS participant automatically receives transport funding. Eligibility depends on your disability, your ability to travel independently, and your goals. Here's what the NDIS considers:
You must have a permanent disability that prevents you from using public transport without assistance.
Transport support must help you achieve goals in your NDIS plan, such as employment, education, or community participation.
The NDIS considers whether family, carers, or the community can reasonably provide transport before approving funding.
Getting NDIS transport assistance Adelaide starts with your NDIS planning meeting. Here's the step-by-step process:
Be prepared to explain how your disability affects your ability to travel. Bring any relevant medical reports or assessments to support your request.
One of the great things about the NDIS is choice and control. You decide how to use your NDIS transport support funding, as long as it aligns with your plan goals.

Whether self-managed, plan-managed, or NDIA-managed, you have flexibility in how funds are used.
