How NDIS travel and transport support works

Travel and transport support is help getting from one place to another when public transport, driving yourself or a lift from family is not workable. In practice it can mean a support worker driving you, someone travelling alongside you on public transport, or assistance in an accessible vehicle where a wheelchair or hoist is involved.

People use it for medical and therapy appointments, work and study, shopping, and getting out socially. Some journeys are one-off; many are a regular weekly routine. Building independent travel skills — learning a bus route with support until you can do it alone — is another form the same support can take.

How transport is funded differs from person to person and depends on what has been agreed in your plan, so this page does not make any assumptions about your funding. Where the support is really about the activity at the other end rather than the journey, community participation may be the closer fit.

Arranging NDIS travel and transport support

People across Australia look for NDIS travel and transport arrangements because getting to appointments, work, study or community activities is harder without a driver or an accessible vehicle. This page is the right place to start that enquiry, wherever you live.

My Care Link Australia is a free matching service rather than a transport provider. Tell us the suburb you travel from, the kinds of trips involved, how often you need them and whether an accessible vehicle or a support worker travelling with you is required, and our team uses that to connect you with disability-support providers to consider.

What each provider covers, where they travel and whether they have capacity is for them to confirm directly. We do not hold live availability information, so treat timing and coverage as questions for the provider rather than promises made here.

What to include in your NDIS travel enquiry

The more concrete you are, the more useful the match. Tell us the suburb you travel from, the kinds of trips involved and how often, whether you need an accessible vehicle, and whether you need someone with you for the whole outing or just the drive.

Also mention timing — school hours, early appointments, evening activities — because that is often what determines whether a provider can help. Our team then connects you with disability-support providers to consider, at no cost. Availability, vehicles and registration are for each provider to confirm with you directly.
