Workers delivering NDIS supports in the Northern Territory need the NDIS Worker Screening Clearance, administered by SAFE NT. 21 of the 31 transport services providers listed in NT are registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. Unregistered providers can still deliver many supports if your plan is plan managed or self managed.
NDIS price caps do not change by state: the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits set the same maximum rates in the Northern Territory as everywhere else in Australia. Higher caps apply in areas classified remote or very remote, which covers parts of the Northern Territory.
How much does transport services cost in Northern Territory?

What does transport support cover?
Transport support helps people get to medical appointments, community activities, and everyday errands when they cannot drive or use public transport independently. Under the NDIS, it is funded through a periodic Core Supports transport budget or delivered as a support worker driving service billed under Activity Based Transport, per the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2025-26. Aged care programs fund transport separately from the NDIS.
How to choose a provider for this service
Providers are ranked using the criteria explained above: NDIS registration status, measured response time, pricing transparency, and verified service area coverage. For transport specifically, check four things before booking. Registration matters because NDIS-registered providers must meet the NDIS Practice Standards for vehicle safety and worker screening, while CHSP and Support at Home transport providers are assessed under separate aged care standards. Response time matters because a provider who confirms a booking within hours is a better bet for last-minute medical appointments than one who takes days to reply. Pricing transparency matters because transport quotes can bundle a per-kilometre Activity Based Transport charge on top of support worker labour, or a flat aged care rate, so ask for both figures upfront. Coverage matters too: Carevo lists provider coverage across 4,782 suburbs nationally, so confirm a provider actually services your pickup and drop-off points before you book.
Which funding pays for transport support?
NDIS participants access transport in two ways: a periodic Core Supports transport budget paid directly to you, or, when a support worker drives you, that worker’s hourly rate (from 70.23 on a weekday) plus a separate Activity Based Transport charge of 0.99 per kilometre, under the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2025-26. You must be under 65 when you become a participant to qualify for NDIS funding. Older Australians instead access transport through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme or the Support at Home program, which replaced Home Care Packages on 1 November 2025 (Department of Health and Aged Care 2025), with eligibility assessed through My Aged Care rather than the NDIS.
Availability
Carevo lists transport providers across 4,782 suburbs nationally, drawn from a pool of 28,038 registered NDIS and aged care providers on the platform.

If transport is one part of a broader care need, see Support at Home for coordinated aged care packages or the Commonwealth Home Support Programme for entry-level aged care support that can include transport.
