What recurring supports are
Recurring supports are one of 4 support budgets in your NDIS plan. You might not have funding in all 4 support budgets because your plan is based on your individual needs.
Recurring transport is the only category of recurring support. You’ll see this listed in your recurring supports budget if you’re eligible for this funding.
What recurring supports are for
Recurring transport supports can be used to pay for travel that helps you get to and from where you study or work. It can also be used to get you to and from your community activities, day programs or other social, recreational or leisure activities. This transport can include:
- taxis
- rideshare services
- other private travel.
We’ll consider what’s reasonable help your family, carers or community networks can give you with the transport you need when deciding if we can fund recurring transport supports.
