NDIS travel and transport assistance in Adelaide

It covers getting you where you need to go when you can't travel or use public transport on your own because of your disability. The NDIS lists transport to community activities and education, a provider's travel costs, taxis or private transport, and travel training. Complete Choice supports trips to appointments, work, study, shopping and social activities across Adelaide, within 100km of the CBD.

No. A support worker travels with you and can stay for the appointment or activity. If it helps, they come in with you, take notes and make sure you understood what was said before you leave. If an appointment runs late, the worker stays, so you won't be left finding your own way home because a booking window closed.

Yes. A worker can take you to medical and allied health appointments and come in with you if you'd like. They can take notes and check you understood what was said before you leave. Ambulance and health transport services aren't NDIS supports, so for those you go through the health system rather than your NDIS plan.

Yes, we can arrange one. Tell us when you book, so the right vehicle is ready for your trip. For other trips, support workers use their own vehicles or company vehicles. If you're not sure what you need, call our office and we'll talk it through.

Yes. Travel training builds your confidence and skills to use public transport safely and on your own. We plan the route with you, read the timetable together, practise the trip until it's familiar, and work through what to do if a bus doesn't come or you miss a stop. Before you start, we check with you how it fits your plan.

For regular transport, a couple of days' notice is generally enough. If you need a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, mention it when you book so we can arrange one. For anything urgent, call our office and ask. We'll tell you honestly what's possible, rather than promising a time we can't keep, so you can make other plans if you need to.

Yes, if you can't travel or use public transport on your own because of your disability. The NDIS can fund a support worker's help to travel, taxis or private transport, and travel training. If you're eligible, recurring transport funding is also paid to you. The NDIS considers what help family and community can reasonably give. Public transport fares aren't NDIS supports.

Recurring transport is NDIS funding for travel to and from work, study, day programs and community, social or recreational activities, using taxis, rideshare or other private travel. It's the only category in the recurring supports budget, and it appears only if you're eligible. It's paid to your bank account on a regular basis, or you claim it through the portal or app.
