When to use this code

Use this code for specialised driver training for participants with disability. This covers lessons from an instructor qualified in teaching people with specific access needs, including modified vehicle training and licence assessment preparation.

Common billing scenarios

  • A provider submits a quote for this support based on the participant’s individual needs. The NDIA or plan manager reviews the quote before approving the funding.
  • The participant and provider agree on a price and service scope. The provider then submits a claim against this code for the approved amount.

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.
  • Capacity Building funding is time-limited and goal-oriented. Document how the support contributes to the participant’s plan goals, as this will be reviewed at plan reassessment. Unlike Core funding, Capacity Building budgets are usually not flexible across categories.
