Transport Support and NDIS Participant

Transport support means providing support to people with disabilities to get to and from the places they need to go. Below are the different transport options that a participant can have access to:

• Taxis
  
  
• Wheelchair accessible vehicles
  
  
• Public transport
  
  
• Shared transport services
  
  
• Private transport

The transport support is all tailored based on the participant’s needs and goals. For example, some people may need assistance with getting on and off public transport, while others may need assistance with using a wheelchair accessible vehicle.

NDIS service providers can offer a range of different transport support services, including:

• Transport assistance from a support worker
  
  
• Funding to cover the cost of transport
  
  
• Assistance to find and connect with transport services
  
  
• Training and support to the person with a disability and their family or carers on how to use public transport or other transport services.

Based on a participant’s NDIS plan, funding may be available for therapy services, such as occupational therapy or physiotherapy, to help people learn how to use public transport or other transport services safely and independently.

Transport support has become a very important part of a participant’s life as it helps to live independently and participate in the community. By providing transport support, the team at Reaching Sky can help people with disabilities to get to and from work, school, social events, and other important appointments.
