Our disability transport services include:

Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles:
There is no fixed maximum travel time for NDIS transportation services, as the travel time will depend on the individual needs and circumstances of each participant. The NDIS provides funding for transportation services to help participants access the community and participate in daily activities, and the type and level of transportation support provided will depend on the participant's specific requirements.
Safety: The provider should prioritize safety, with well-maintained vehicles and trained drivers who follow best practices for transporting people with disabilities.
Transport to medical appointments: Help to You can provide transport to and from medical appointments, ensuring that people with disabilities can access the care they need.
Personal care: The NDIS can provide funding for personal care services, such as assistance with showering, dressing, and grooming. This can help people with disabilities to maintain their personal hygiene and stay healthy.
You must live in the Sydney metropolitan area. The program only operates within this area and does not cover transport outside of it.
Living on disability can be challenging, but with careful planning and support, it is possible to manage your finances and maintain a good quality of life.
You must require transportation to attend medical appointments, social activities, work or education-related events. The program does not cover transportation for personal or recreational activities.
Your location: The cost of transport services can vary depending on where you live, and your funding will take this into account.
The NDIS may provide funding for the purchase or modification of a car if it is considered a reasonable and necessary support for an individual participant's disability-related needs. However, the decision to fund a car will depend on a range of factors, including the participant's specific needs and circumstances, their goals and aspirations, and the availability of alternative transport options.
Meeting the residency requirements: You must meet the residency requirements for the NDIS mobility allowance.
Support Staff: Help to You also employs support staff who work closely with NDIS participants and their support coordinators to ensure that their transport needs are met efficiently and effectively. They are responsible for scheduling and coordinating transport services, as well as addressing any issues or concerns that may arise.
Training and qualifications: Make sure that the NDIS driver you choose has the necessary training and qualifications to provide transportation services to individuals with disabilities. This may include first aid training, disability awareness training, and driver training.
Once the service provider has a clear understanding of your needs, they will work with you to develop a transport plan that meets your requirements. This plan will outline the services that you will receive, the cost of these services, and any other relevant details.
Create a budget: To make sure you are making the most of your income, it's important to create a budget that takes into account all your expenses and income. This will help you to identify areas where you can cut back on expenses and ensure that you have enough money to cover your bills and living expenses.
The amount of funding you receive for transport will depend on factors such as:
If you meet these criteria, you can apply for the Sydney NDIS Transport Services Program. The program operates on a user-pays model, which means that the cost of transportation is deducted from your NDIS plan. However, the program also provides subsidies to people with financial difficulties to ensure that everyone has access to the service.
Level 3: Enhanced transport support - This level of funding is intended to provide enhanced transportation support to individuals with complex needs. This may include specialized transportation services, such as modified vehicles or transportation with specialized equipment.
