NDIS Travel & Transport Support Across Melbourne’s South-East, Darwin & NT Regions
Getting You There Safely, Confidently, and With Care
At Your Life Your Choice Care Services, we understand that transport is more than just getting from A to B; it’s about independence, access, and living a fulfilling life.
Whether you’re heading to medical appointments, a job interview, a social event, or your favourite community activity, our service ensures you get there safely, reliably, and with confidence.
What Is Travel & Transport Support?
Travel & Transport is an NDIS support designed to help participants access:
The community
Work or study
Healthcare appointments
Social and cultural activities
This support is for participants who can’t safely use public transport due to physical, cognitive, or psychological barriers.
At YLYC, our support workers can:
Drive you directly where you need to go
Or help you build travel confidence through training and support
The goal is to help you travel more independently, safely, and with peace of mind
Better hygiene and health outcomes
Improved self-confidence and self-image
Greater freedom to participate in community life
Lower risk of injury or hospitalisation
Reduced stress for family or informal carers
Increased ability to live independently
What Transport Support Can Include
Our transport support is tailored to your lifestyle, goals, and routines. Depending on your plan and needs, we can help with:
Transport to medical appointments, therapy, or hospital visits
Getting to school, work, or training programs
Accessing shopping centres, banks, libraries, or community events
Attending social, cultural, or religious gatherings
Assistance using taxis or rideshare services
Training to build confidence with public transport (bus, train, tram)
Learning to read timetables, use travel apps, and plan routes
Safety support for crossing roads, managing mobility aids, or handling sensory triggers
We’re here to help reduce your reliance on others while ensuring you’re never isolated or unsafe.

Why Transport Support Makes a Difference
Access to transport isn’t a luxury, it’s a basic right. But for many participants, transport is a significant barrier to:
Attending appointments without stress
Going to work, study, or training opportunities
Staying connected to social and community activities
Visiting friends, family, or cultural events
Exploring new places confidently
Maintaining routines and independence

Frequently Asked Questions
Travel & Transport
Is transport support included in my NDIS plan?
Yes, if you’re unable to travel independently due to your disability, you may be eligible for transport funding under Core Supports or Capacity Building.
Can your staff drive me to appointments or shopping?
Yes. If your plan allows it, our team can provide direct transport in safe, insured, NDIS-compliant vehicles.
What if I want to learn to use public transport?
Fantastic! We love helping participants build independence. We’ll train you to read timetables, plan routes, and navigate real-life travel situations.
Do you offer transport in rural or remote areas?
Absolutely. We work across the NT and remote towns where services can be limited. Transport access is one of our key priorities in these areas.
Can transport support be combined with other services?
Yes. We often combine transport with personal care, community participation, or other core supports during the same visit.
