Disability Transport

Getting to appointments, community activities and social events is fundamental to living a full life. For NDIS participants who cannot use public transport independently, reliable, accessible disability transport can be the difference between participation and isolation. First Priority Care provides transport support for participants across Queensland, as part of our community access and in-home support services.

NDIS funding

Transport is funded under Core Supports: Assistance with Daily Life (non-labour transport costs) and Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation. There are two components: the support worker's time (funded as a standard support) and the vehicle running costs or transport costs (funded separately at set NDIS rates). Your support coordinator can help structure your transport funding correctly.

Frequently asked questions: Disability Transport

Does NDIS pay for a taxi or rideshare for participants?
NDIS can fund taxi or rideshare costs as a transport support, particularly for participants who cannot use public transport. The specific amount funded depends on your plan and how your transport needs are assessed. Your support coordinator can help ensure transport funding is included correctly in your plan.
What if I need a wheelchair-accessible vehicle?
We match participants requiring wheelchair-accessible transport with workers who have appropriate vehicles, or coordinate with accessible transport providers. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
