Comprehending NDIS Transportation: Activity Based Transport

Transportation is a vital component of NDIS support services, and knowing how to claim transportation expenses is crucial for both participants and support workers. In this article, we delve into Activity Based Transport and its relevance to taxi fares for NDIS participants.

Defining Activity Based Transport

Activity Based Transport permits support workers to claim the expenses of taxi fares incurred while transporting NDIS participants. This means that if a support worker uses a taxi service to transport a participant, they can include the taxi fare as part of their NDIS funding claims. As an NDIS Registered Provider, understanding these claims is vital for ensuring smooth operations.

Procedure for Claiming Taxi Fares

For instance, if a taxi fare for transporting a participant amounts to $48, the support worker can claim this expense by converting the fare into units. In the NDIS pricing arrangements, each unit is valued at $1. Thus, the support worker would claim 48 units x $1 = $48.

It is essential to understand that claiming taxi fares under Activity Based Transport adheres to the same principles as claiming expenses for using a personal vehicle. This ensures a fair and equitable reimbursement process for support workers, which is a fundamental aspect of Disability Care Services.
