Frequently asked questions

How much transport funding do I get in my NDIS plan?
Transport funding varies by participant. It depends on your disability, where you live, your goals, and whether you can use public transport. The NDIA considers what is reasonable and necessary for your circumstances.
Can I use NDIS transport funding for Uber or taxis?
Generally yes, if your plan includes transport funding. You can typically use it for taxis, rideshare services, or NDIS-specific transport providers, depending on your plan management type.
What is travel training?
Travel training teaches participants to use public transport independently. An NDIS provider accompanies you on routes, teaching you to navigate timetables, plan journeys, and manage unexpected situations.
Does NDIS fund vehicle modifications?
Yes. If you drive or are driven in a private vehicle that needs modifications (hand controls, wheelchair hoists, ramps), the NDIS can fund these under Capital Supports - Assistive Technology.
