Specialised Transport To School/Educational Facility/Employment/Community

When to use this code

Use this code for transport-related support. This can cover the cost of a support worker helping a participant travel to appointments, activities, or other destinations. It may also cover assistance with learning to use public transport independently. Check whether the participant’s plan specifies transport funding under Core or Capacity Building, as this affects which codes apply.

Common billing scenarios

• A support worker drives a participant to a medical appointment 30 minutes away. The provider claims the transport support time for the round trip.
• A participant is learning to catch public transport independently. The support worker accompanies them on a bus trip, and the provider claims the direct support time under this code.

Provider notes

• This is a quotable support, so there is no fixed price limit. You will need to submit a detailed quote to the NDIA or the participant’s plan manager before delivering the service. The quote should break down the expected costs and justify why the amount is reasonable.
• This is a Core support, which means participants can generally use their Core funding flexibly across different Core categories (unless their plan states otherwise). Check with the participant’s plan manager if you are unsure about flexibility.
