About this NDIS support item
Provider travel costs are associated with the transportation expenses incurred by service providers when delivering supports to NDIS participants. These costs are not related to the labour of the provider but rather the travel expenses necessary to reach the participant's location.
It's important to note that the specific travel costs applicable to each participant will depend on their individual NDIS plan and goals. Participants should review their plans to understand how these costs can be covered under their funding.
Examples
- Travel expenses for a support worker to visit a participant's home for skill development sessions.
- Costs incurred by a therapist travelling to provide assessments or therapy sessions.
- Transportation fees for a provider attending a community event to support a participant.
