| | Disability not only limits a person physically but bars them to do day-to-day chores with confidence. Traveling from one place to another, be it paying bills, medical appointments, etc, can be a daunting task for them. Fortunately, there are many NDIS providers that offer transport and travel assistance to help people with disability from getting one to another.
There are a few registered NDIS providers in Melbourne like South Eastern Wellbeing Assistance Pty Ltd., that can help your loved ones to get to their destinations either by cab, bus, train, or specialised vehicles. They provide a safe and practical way to carry out activities that need people to leave their homes.
Many NDIS providers offer many different types of transport and travel assistance services and you can pick the one that works best for you.

Private Transport: You either book a taxi or any specially customised vehicle to pick you up for your medical appointments, shopping or so. Since it is your private ride, you can carry out your tasks at your own convenience. A trained support worker will be assigned to you to help you get wherever you wished to go safely.
Shared Transport: In this, you will be sharing your vehicle with other NDIS members traveling to the same destination. You can either share one vehicle with your own group, or the NDIS provider can pair you up with other individuals having similar travel requirements and destinations. It is one of the best ways to travel as you can interact and be social with other NDIS members.
Public Transport: As the name suggests, you can travel to your destination by taking public transport (bus or train). You will be accompanied by a social worker sent by the registered NDIS provider in Victoria. It is a perfect option if you are unable or not comfortable commuting on your own.
Community Transport: It is like a carpool service for NDIS members’ groups. Since it caters to multiple passengers, that is why vehicles like vans or buses with wheel-chair access are used. As it is catering to a larger audience, that is why it makes multiple stops to pick up and drop off passengers.
Traveling assistance by Carer families: Many families in Australia are associated with a registered NDIS provider. Like Care providers for NDIS participants, these families also provide transportation assistance. The provider will ensure that all social carers who are providing travel assistance, have a valid Australian driver’s license, along with a thorough background check on the registration and vehicle. These strict measures are taken to guarantee safety.
