NDIS Transport funding is a crucial part of independence for NDIS participants, enabling access to work, education, and community activities. Understanding how NDIS transport funding works in 2025 can help you maximise your plan and ensure you receive the right support for your travel needs.
What is NDIS Transport Funding?
NDIS transport funding is designed to help participants who cannot use public transport due to their disability. It covers travel support such as:
- Private vehicle use (including mileage reimbursement for carers or family members).
- Community transport services.
- Taxi or rideshare services.
- Modified vehicle costs (under assistive technology, if required for accessibility).
Who is Eligible for Transport Support?
You may receive transport funding in your NDIS plan if:
- You cannot use public transport due to your disability.
- You require paid transport support to access essential services.
- Transport assistance is necessary to participate in work, education, or community activities.
Types of NDIS Transport Funding
- Level 1: Basic Transport Support
- The NDIS may provide $1,784 per year for participants who are not working, studying or attending day programs but are seeking to enhance their community access.
- Level 2: Higher Support Needs
- The NDIS may provide $2,676 per year for participants who are currently working or studying part-time (up to 15 hours a week), participating in day programs and for other social, recreational or leisure activities.
- Level 3: Extensive Travel Needs
- The NDIS may provide $3,456 per year for participants who are currently working, looking for work, or studying, at least 15 hours a week, and are unable to use public transport because of their disability.
How to Use Your Transport Funding
