Transport

The NDIS has ruled that no NDIS service provider or financial intermediary can convert NDIS Core Support funding to cover kilometre costs for support workers to transport clients.

If you require transport, please review what transport options are in your NDIS plan, or contact us if you need assistance.

NDIS transport options:

1. If you have a transport allocation in your NDIS plan listed as: self-managed, it means the NDIS will pay your transport allocation directly into your bank account. A direct debit can be established with us to pay for this service.
2. If you have a transport allocation in your NDIS plan listed as: agency managed, our Client Engagement Managers can work with you to reflect this in the service we deliver to you.
3. If you have no transport funding in your NDIS plan and believe that is a ‘reasonable and necessary’ requirement based on your needs, you can contact the NDIS, your support coordination (or where applicable) your Local Area Coordinator to request a review. If you do not believe your transport needs will be classified as ‘reasonable and necessary’ by the NDIS you can still access transport from CareChoice by paying privately.
