Staying connected to your community, essential services, and the people who matter most plays an important role in overall wellbeing. For many people living with disability, transport can be a significant barrier to independence and participation.
Getting to appointments, work, social activities, or daily errands is not always possible without the right support.
NDIS transport support exists to help remove that barrier. It allows participants to move through their day with consistency and confidence.
When transport is reliable and accessible, people are better able to maintain routines and stay engaged with their world.
At Holistic Me, transport is viewed as part of whole person support. It is not only about travel, it is about enabling independence, connection, and meaningful participation.
This guide explains how NDIS transport support works, why it matters, and how it can help you or someone you care for stay connected.
NDIS transport support is funding provided through the National Disability Insurance Scheme to help participants travel to reasonable and necessary activities. This can include medical appointments, therapy sessions, work, education, community programs, or social outings.
This support recognises that not everyone can use public transport independently. It also acknowledges that regular travel costs can add up quickly when ongoing supports are required.
NDIS transport services can be delivered in different ways, depending on individual needs and NDIS plans. Some participants receive funding to cover transport costs. Others receive direct assistance through a support worker or an accessible vehicle.
Transport matters because mobility supports independence. Without reliable transport, people may miss appointments, lose routine, or become disconnected from their community. NDIS transport support helps ensure that participants can access the supports and opportunities they need.
NDIS transport for participants is designed for people who cannot travel independently or safely without assistance. This may include individuals who:
Transport needs may change over time. NDIS plans can be reviewed to ensure transport support continues to reflect current goals and circumstances.
Connection includes more than social activities. It also means accessing healthcare, education, employment, and everyday services. NDIS transport assistance plays a key role in supporting all of these areas.
When transport is consistent, participants are more likely to attend appointments regularly and stay engaged with their supports. Reliable travel also helps people maintain daily routines that support wellbeing.

For many people supported by Holistic Me, transport is coordinated alongside other NDIS services. This integrated approach helps participants move between appointments, activities, and daily tasks with familiar and trusted support.
NDIS transport support offers benefits that extend beyond convenience. It supports independence, participation, and continuity of care.
Access to disability transport support allows participants to make choices about where they go and when. This reinforces autonomy and supports confidence in daily life.
Having reliable transport also makes planning easier. Participants can organise their week knowing travel support is in place.
NDIS community transport support helps participants remain active in their local community. This may include group programs, social events, volunteering, or recreational activities.
Ongoing community participation supports connection and belonging. It also provides opportunities to develop skills and relationships.
Reliable transport supports consistent attendance at medical and allied health appointments. This helps maintain continuity of care and supports long term outcomes.
When transport is available, participants are less likely to miss appointments or experience disruptions to their supports.
NDIS travel support can also benefit families and carers. Reliable transport reduces the need for family members to coordinate travel and manage scheduling challenges.
This can support healthier routines for both participants and carers.
NDIS transport services vary depending on individual needs, goals, and plan funding.
Common types of NDIS transport support include:

If your circumstances change, adjustments can be made through your provider or NDIS plan review.
