Yes, if you can't use public transport because of your disability, the NDIS can fund transport support to help you get to work, study, appointments and community activities.

Transport funding is usually based on your situation: how much you're working or studying and how much travel your goals involve. Some participants receive a regular transport payment, while others have transport built into their support funding. If your needs are higher (for example, you work full-time and can't access public transport at all) funding can reflect that.

Two things worth knowing:

• If you currently receive Mobility Allowance from Centrelink, it stops when your NDIS plan starts, because transport moves into your plan instead. Make sure transport is discussed at your planning meeting so nothing falls through the cracks.
• The NDIS generally doesn't fund the transport itself for things like school transport, which other systems cover.

For the current details, see the NDIS transport page.
