About this NDIS support item
Provider travel costs are associated with the travel expenses incurred by support providers when delivering services to NDIS participants. These costs are not related to the labour of the provider but rather the travel itself, which may include transport fees and other associated expenses.
It's important to note that the specific travel costs will depend on the participant's NDIS plan and individual goals. Each participant may have different needs and circumstances that influence the overall support they receive.
Examples
- Transport costs for a support worker travelling to meet a participant at their home.
