How providers are verified

When you refer a participant through MD Home Care, you are referring to a provider cross-checked against the official Australian registers. Here is what is verified before a provider appears in the directory.

NDIS register cross-check

Every NDIS-registered provider listed is verified against the NDIS Commission register. Registration numbers and approved support groups are pulled from the official register, not self-declared.

Aged care approval status

Aged care approved status reflects the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care approved provider list, including service types and category groups.

ABN verification

Every listing includes an Australian Business Number. Providers without a valid, active ABN do not appear in our directory.

Complaints process

If you or a participant has a concern, the NDIS Commission handles complaints about NDIS providers and the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission handles aged care complaints. We also accept complaints via our own channel.

About Transport Assistance

Transport Assistance covers support for participants to travel to appointments, activities, and community access. This includes funded transport services, travel training to build independent travel skills, and vehicle modifications. Transport funding is typically a fixed amount in the participant's plan.

With 404 providers across all states and territories, transport assistance is a specialist registration group. Provider availability varies by location, so check suburb-level results for accurate coverage.

Transport Assistance Pricing

The following NDIS price limits apply under the 2025-26 NDIS Pricing Arrangements. These are maximum rates for standard metropolitan areas. Remote and very remote loadings apply in eligible areas.

Line Item Description Price Limit
02_051_0108_1_1 Transport $1.00 per year

Evening, Saturday, Sunday, and public holiday rates are higher than weekday daytime rates shown above.

What Transport Assistance Covers

The Transport Assistance registration group includes the following services. When referring, match the specific service type to the participant's plan goals and funded line items.

Funded Transport

A lump sum in the participant's plan for travel to appointments, activities, and community access. Can be used for taxis, rideshare, community transport, or reimbursing a support worker for mileage.

Specialist Disability Transport

Wheelchair-accessible vehicles and trained drivers for participants who cannot use standard transport options. Higher cost but necessary for some participants.

Travel Training

Teaching participants to use public transport independently. Funded under Capacity Building rather than Core Supports. See Daily Living Skills for more detail.

Common Referral Scenarios

Real-world situations where you would refer a participant for transport assistance.

1.

A participant's transport budget runs out halfway through the plan because support workers are claiming mileage for every community access visit. Review whether some trips could use public transport or rideshare instead of support worker travel.

2.

A participant needs wheelchair-accessible transport but the local taxi service has limited accessible vehicles. Research specialist disability transport providers and community transport options in the area.

What to Expect After Referral

Transport funding is typically a fixed annual amount. It does not cover day-to-day commuting costs that any person would incur. The amount is based on the participant's disability-related transport needs beyond what state government schemes (taxi subsidy, companion card) provide.

Red Flags to Watch For

Warning signs that a transport assistance provider may not be delivering quality services.

Transport budget exhausted well before plan end

Support workers claiming excessive mileage

Provider billing transport as a separate service when it is included in community access shifts

Transport connects with Community Participation (getting to activities), Employment (getting to work), and Daily Personal Activities (support worker travel claims). Always check state taxi subsidy and companion card eligibility before using NDIS transport funding.

How to Refer a Participant for Transport Assistance

Check plan funding in Category 2

Step 2

Verify provider registration status

Step 3

Find providers in participant's suburb

Step 4

Set up service agreement with line items

Step 5

Monitor delivery and document outcomes

Referral Tips for Transport Assistance

Transport funding is often the first budget category to run out. Help participants understand whether their transport allocation covers taxi-style services, whether support worker travel time counts against it, and whether travel training might be a better long-term investment. Check if the participant is eligible for the taxi subsidy scheme in their state before using NDIS transport funding.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does NDIS transport funding work in Australia?
Transport is typically funded as a lump sum in the participant's plan. The participant can use it for taxis, rideshare, community transport, or other disability transport services. Support worker mileage during appointments can also be claimed. The amount varies by participant based on their transport needs and goals.
Can I refer an NDIA-managed participant to an unregistered provider?
No. NDIA-managed participants can only use NDIS registered providers. Plan-managed and self-managed participants can use both registered and unregistered providers.
How do I check if a provider is NDIS registered?
Check the NDIS Provider Register at provider.ndis.gov.au. Search by provider name or ABN. Providers listed on MD Home Care display their registration status on their profile.
What information should I include when making a referral?
Include the participant's name (with consent), NDIS plan number, relevant line items, budget available, service frequency, specific requirements (cultural, language, gender preference), and your contact details.
