Don’t Let Transportation Hold You Back: Get Moving With Our NDIS Disability Transport in Melbourne Services

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) recognises that transportation can be a significant barrier for people with disabilities. That’s why we offer NDIS Travel & Transport funding to help you achieve greater independence and participate fully in your community.

Understanding NDIS Transport Funding:
If you need disability transport in Melbourne, you will need to understand the funding structure which you can find below.

• Funding Eligibility: NDIS participants may be eligible for transport funding if their disability makes it difficult or impossible to use public transport independently. The amount of funding you receive depends on your specific needs, circumstances, and the frequency of your required travel.
• Types of Transport Covered: NDIS funding can cover a variety of transport options, including:
  • Accessible taxis: Vehicles equipped with ramps, lifts, or other features to accommodate mobility aids.
  • Ambulance transport: Medically necessary transport for individuals requiring specialised medical care during travel.
  • Disability-modified vehicles (DMVs): Personal vehicles modified with specialised equipment to meet your specific needs, such as hand controls or wheelchair lifts (funding for modifications may be separate).
  • Public transport: Assistance with planning trips, navigating public transport systems, and purchasing tickets.
  • Charter services: For group travel or situations where accessible public transport options are limited.
