For individuals living with disability, assistance can be to get from one place to another. This can be a major barrier to their independence. So NDIS transport and travel services came into place from providers. These will help people access their community, study work, stay connected and attend appointments. We at Wishing Well Care ensure each travel is comfortable, reliable and customisable as per the needs and goals of people. Keep reading the below article for more information.
Why Transport Support Matters
Transport support is needed to travel from one place to another. It will enable you to do the following tasks.
- Participate in events and activities in their community
- Attend medical-related appointments
- Stay engaged in employment
- Visit friends and family
- Run errands like banking and shopping
Daily life can be isolated without accessible transportation services. NDIS transport and travel services are created to make sure people move through their life with confidence and independence.
What the NDIS Can Fund
The type of transport support depends on the needs and goals of NDIS. Some of the options include the following:
1. Transport Allowance
The NDIS may provide funding as the transport allowance for people unable to use public transport. This will replace rideshares, taxis and community transport & travel options.
2. Travel with a Support Worker
If you need any assistance to move from one place to another or manage during travel, support workers can accompany you. At Wishing Well Care, we offer trained staff to provide travel assistance safely.
3. Vehicle Modifications
People who drive with family may be able to access funding for modifications like ramps, wheelchairs or seating.
4. Capacity Building for Independent Travel
Some people may work towards learning to use public transportation. This includes building confidence, travel training and understanding ticketing.
