Building capacity to travel independently

The NDIS may provide you with funding for transport supports which assist in building your capacity to travel independently. This may include accessing Pearl Disability Services’ own transport services, determining and purchasing which personal transport-related aids and equipment will assist you, or receiving coaching and support to use public transport.

When using public transport, Pearl Disability Services can assist you to plan your journey, understand how to read timetables and also accompany you on your first few trips.

Our supports can be ad hoc (e.g. to attend a social event) or booked to assist you to attend regular medical appointments or to grocery shopping.

Your transport supports may include the reasonable and necessary costs of taxis or other private transport options (such as those from Pearl Disability Services), as well as transport to and from school for students.

When travelling in a Pearl Disability Services vehicle, you can be confident they are registered, comprehensive insurance, safe and clean and that all our Support Workers are experienced and hold a valid Australian driving license.

You may also be able to access funding for vehicle modifications that enable you to drive your own private vehicle.

Transport supports only relate to participants and do not relate to travel for families, carers or providers of supports.
