General Transport

This core support item can be used to help with transport to any activity or event, as long as the activity will help you meet your goals. Although there are no provider price limits, there are several levels that set a maximum annual amount, depending on your situation and needs. You can use this allowance to pay for taxis, rideshare services, public transit, or other transport services that meet your needs.

  • Level 1: You may be eligible for this level if you do not work or go to school, and you want transport to help you access general community events, activities, and resources.
  • Level 2: You may be eligible for this level if you attend work, school, or a day program part-time for less than 15 hours per week. You can use this allowance for transport to any community location or event, not just work or school.
  • Level 3: You may be eligible for this program if you attend work, school, or a day program for 15 hours per week or more. You can use this allowance for transport to any community location or event.

Note: Your transport allowance does not change if you live in a remote or very remote location.

Specialised Transport

You’ll use a different support item in your NDIS budget if you need specialised transport, such as transport in a modified vehicle. This item is subject to the same rules and maximum limits as General Transport.
