NDIS transport funding: How it works?
Funding is individual. The NDIS does not automatically fund every trip or every participant, so your transport needs should be discussed with your NDIS planner, Local Area Coordinator or support coordinator.
NDIS transport funding enables eligible participants to access safe, dependable travel assistance through the Core Supports – Transport Allowance category.
This funding is divided into three levels based on each participant’s travel needs and circumstances:
- Level 1: Provides limited funding for community access and travel needs for participants who are not regularly engaged in work or study.
- Level 2: Offers greater support for participants who frequently travel for employment, education, or community involvement.
- Level 3: Provides the highest level of transport funding for participants with complex support requirements or demanding employment and activity schedules that involve regular travel.
Westcoast Health Services helps participants identify the most suitable funding level, handle invoice management, and make the most of their NDIS plan benefits, ensuring smooth and hassle-free transport support coordination and Community Participation Care Mindarie.

Westcoast Health Services delivers practical, person-centred NDIS Transport Services Mindarie participants can use for everyday travel and important commitments.
Door-to-door transport assistance
Our door to door transport assistance helps you travel from your home to your destination and back. This can reduce the stress of arranging multiple transport options and may be suitable for participants who experience difficulty using public transport, entering vehicles or navigating unfamiliar locations.
Transport may be arranged for:
- Medical appointments and healthcare visits.
- Therapy and allied health appointments.
- Work, education or training.
- Community activities and social events.
- Shopping and essential errands.
- Recreation and local outings.
- Other approved activities connected with your goals.
Companion and boarding assistance
Transport can involve more than driving. Our support staff can provide hand support and practical assistance during boarding, disembarking and other parts of the journey, subject to the participant’s needs and agreed service arrangements.
The aim is to help participants travel with greater safety, confidence and comfort while respecting their independence, choices and privacy.
Accessible vehicle options
Some participants require specialised vehicles because of mobility needs. Westcoast Health Services offers vehicle options designed to accommodate different requirements, including wheelchair accessible transport where available and appropriate.
What you can’t claim?
NDIS transport funding is not designed to cover the regular travel expenses that most Australians manage as part of everyday life.
To be eligible, you must demonstrate that your transport requirements are directly affected by your disability and extend beyond the needs of the wider community.
As a result, funding generally will not cover:
- Everyday travel that is unrelated to your disability support requirements or NDIS goals
- The initial purchase cost of a regular vehicle that has not been modified for your needs
- Any transport expenses that were not discussed, approved, or included in your NDIS plan
If you are uncertain whether a specific journey or expense can be claimed, it is best to confirm with your plan manager at 0436 113 763 / info@westcoasthealthservices.com.au before making arrangements.
How the service can support independence?
Reliable travel transport support can help participants take greater control of their schedules and participate in activities that matter to them.
With appropriate NDIS transport support, participants may be able to:
- Attend medical appointments more consistently.
- Maintain relationships with family and friends.
- Access community and social activities.
- Participate in education, work or training.
- Complete essential errands.
- Build confidence using transport.
- Travel more independently with the right level of help.
The purpose of Transport Assistance for Disabled Mindarie residents is not to remove choice. It is to reduce disability-related barriers so participants can make informed decisions about where they go, when they travel and what support they need.
