About this NDIS support item
Provider travel costs are associated with the transportation expenses incurred by support coordinators and psychosocial recovery coaches when delivering services to NDIS participants. These costs are not related to the labour of the support worker but rather the travel required to reach the participant's location.
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 arrangements, which can influence the overall costs associated with provider travel.
Examples
- Travel expenses for a support coordinator visiting a participant at home.
- Costs incurred when a psychosocial recovery coach travels to a community event to support a participant.
