Get Around Newton Easily with Our NDIS Transport Assistance

Helping NDIS Participants in Newton, SA Access Safe and Reliable Transport

For many NDIS participants, something as simple as travelling to a medical appointment, visiting loved ones, or heading to the shops can feel like an impossible task. While others take these everyday activities for granted, the absence of safe, dependable transport limits participants' independence far more than their disability itself.


The NDIS recognises this and offers support for transport and travel. But support alone isn’t enough — without clear guidance, planning, and delivery, it’s just a promise on paper.


At Nascare Disability Support Services, a registered NDIS provider in Newton, we make that promise real. Through our NDIS transport services in Newton, SA, we help participants access the transport they’re funded for — safely, punctually, and stress-free.


Because transport isn’t just about going from A to B — it’s about restoring independence, dignity, and freedom.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through the transport options available under the NDIS, and how Nascare helps you make the most of them.


NDIS Transport Options You May Be Eligible For

Here are the main travel support options available through the NDIS:


1. Transport Funding Under Core Supports

If you’re unable to use public transport due to your disability, you may be eligible for regular transport funding under your Core Supports. This can cover the cost of taxis or other private transport to get you to work, school, appointments, or community events.

We can also help you understand the different funding levels available for travel.


2. Support Worker Travel Assistance

Travelling with a support worker can improve your safety and confidence. The NDIS can fund a support worker to accompany you to appointments, activities, or events — ideal if you need help navigating or feel more secure with assistance.


3. Public Transport Training

Would you like to learn how to use buses, trains, or trams independently? The NDIS can fund travel training tailored to your abilities, helping you build confidence to use public transport in Newton and beyond.


4. Wheelchair-Accessible Transport

If you need a modified vehicle or access to one, the NDIS can fund services that provide wheelchair-accessible transport. Nascare offers a personal, comfortable, and fully accessible vehicle to ensure every journey is safe and dignified.


5. Taxi Subsidy Schemes

Depending on your eligibility, you may also be able to access state-based taxi subsidies to help reduce the cost of transport where NDIS funding may fall short. Our team can guide you through what’s available in South Australia.


What the NDIS Doesn’t Cover for Travel

While there’s generous transport support available, not everything is covered. Here are some travel-related expenses that are not funded under the NDIS:

  • Public transport fares (unless part of a travel training goal)

  • Informal transport provided by friends or family

  • Travel costs for carers or family (unless they are paid support workers)

  • Fuel, registration, or maintenance for private vehicles

  • Parking and toll fees

  • Holiday or leisure-related travel not linked to NDIS plan goals

At Nascare, we help you clearly understand what you can claim — so your funding is used efficiently and effectively.


How to Access NDIS Transport Services in Newton, SA

If you're just starting out with the NDIS or want to make better use of your current plan, here's what you need to know.


Getting Transport Funding in Your Plan

Transport support isn’t automatically included in every plan — it depends on your individual needs and goals. You may be eligible if:

  • Your disability prevents you from using public transport

  • You require regular transport for work, education, community activities, or health appointments

Make sure to discuss your transport needs during your NDIS planning meeting or plan review. Clearly linking them to your goals increases your chances of getting the right level of support included under Core Supports.
