The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) funds transportation so you can visit the places you want to go. There are three tiers of transport funding under the NDIS , and the amount you can access depends on how much you work or study, or if you’re assessed as having a greater need. For most people accessing NDIS transport funding, there are three levels of funding. Level 1 transport funding is up to $1606 a year. This covers you if you don’t work, study or take part in a day program. It allows you to access the community. Level 2 transport funding is up to $2472 a year. This covers you if you work, study, take part in a day program, or do social recreational or leisure activities for less than 15 hours a week. Level 3 transport funding is up to $3456 a year. This covers you if you work (or are looking for work) or study more than 15 hours a week and can’t use public transport because of your disability. If your needs are greater, for example if you need general or funded supports to be employed, then you might have a greater transport budget in your NDIS plan.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can provide health supports alongside any healthcare services you receive from the public and private health system. Health supports are things people need to manage a range of conditions. These conditions or health aspects you can get help to manage include continence, respiratory care, nutrition, wound and pressure care, dysphagia, diabetes, podiatry, and epilepsy. The funding is not designed to be comprehensive. If you’re in an emergency situation or recovering from being hospitalised, conventional healthcare providers such as hospitals or Hospital at Home are still expected to help you with these conditions. These supports may still be covered by state and territory governments and other federal government agencies as they become NDIS-funded services. More details on NDIS-funded health supports can be found in the Disability-Related Health Supports Operational Guideline or the updated price guide and supports catalogue.
