What Transport Assistance Covers
The Transport Assistance registration group includes the following services. When referring, match the specific service type to the participant's plan goals and funded line items.
Funded Transport
A lump sum in the participant's plan for travel to appointments, activities, and community access. Can be used for taxis, rideshare, community transport, or reimbursing a support worker for mileage.
Specialist Disability Transport
Wheelchair-accessible vehicles and trained drivers for participants who cannot use standard transport options. Higher cost but necessary for some participants.
Travel Training
Teaching participants to use public transport independently. Funded under Capacity Building rather than Core Supports. See Daily Living Skills for more detail.
Common Referral Scenarios
Real-world situations where you would refer a participant for transport assistance in Bendigo.
A participant's transport budget runs out halfway through the plan because support workers are claiming mileage for every community access visit. Review whether some trips could use public transport or rideshare instead of support worker travel.
A participant needs wheelchair-accessible transport but the local taxi service has limited accessible vehicles. Research specialist disability transport providers and community transport options in the area.
What to Expect After Referral
Transport funding is typically a fixed annual amount. It does not cover day-to-day commuting costs that any person would incur. The amount is based on the participant's disability-related transport needs beyond what state government schemes (taxi subsidy, companion card) provide.
Red Flags to Watch For
Warning signs that a transport assistance provider may not be delivering quality services.
Transport budget exhausted well before plan end
Support workers claiming excessive mileage
Provider billing transport as a separate service when it is included in community access shifts
How Transport Assistance Works with Other Supports
Transport connects with Community Participation (getting to activities), Employment (getting to work), and Daily Personal Activities (support worker travel claims). Always check state taxi subsidy and companion card eligibility before using NDIS transport funding.

Check plan funding in Category 2
Step 2

Step 3
Contact provider or submit referral
Step 4

Step 5
Monitor delivery and document outcomes
Referral Tips for Transport Assistance
Transport funding is often the first budget category to run out. Help participants understand whether their transport allocation covers taxi-style services, whether support worker travel time counts against it, and whether travel training might be a better long-term investment. Check if the participant is eligible for the taxi subsidy scheme in their state before using NDIS transport funding.
What to Check Before Making a Referral
Registration Status
Verify the provider holds the correct NDIS registration group for transport assistance. Check the NDIS provider register if uncertain.
Service Area
Confirm the provider services Bendigo and surrounding areas. Some providers listed here cover the broader Bendigo & Ballarat region.
Availability and Waitlists
Ask about current waitlist times. For urgent referrals, check multiple providers simultaneously to find the fastest availability.
Cultural and Language Needs
Match the participant's cultural background and language preferences where possible. Ask providers about staff diversity and interpreter availability.
Cancellation Policy
Review the provider's short notice cancellation terms. Under the NDIS Price Guide, providers can charge up to 100% for cancellations within 2 business days.
Reporting and Communication
Agree on how the provider will report progress to you. Regular updates make your own progress reports and plan review preparation much easier.
