Assistance with Travel and Transport (NDIS Code 0108)
NDIS Registration Group 0108 – Assistance with Travel/Transport Arrangements – funds support so participants who cannot use public or private transport independently because of their disability can still reach appointments, work, study and community activities.
This can include paying a provider to transport you, having a support worker accompany you on journeys, and help to organise and coordinate your regular travel so it fits your goals and routine.
Assistance with Travel and Transport Arrangements (NDIS Code 0108) at Raha Community Care focuses on more than getting from A to B – it’s about safe, predictable and dignified travel that keeps you connected to the life you choose in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs.
Why NDIS Transport Support Exists
For many people, the challenge is not the activity itself – it is getting there safely, reliably and on time.
The NDIS recognises that when disability makes it hard or unsafe to use public transport independently, funding for transport supports may be considered “reasonable and necessary” so you can access the community, employment, education and other supports in your plan.
How Raha Community Care Supports Your Travel
Raha Community Care provides tailored Assistance with Travel and Transport Arrangements for adults aged 18 and over across Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, with a strong focus on reliability, safety and cultural understanding.
Depending on your NDIS plan and goals, we can help with:
- A support worker driving you in a suitable vehicle or travelling alongside you on public transport
- Coordinating pick‑up and drop‑off times for appointments, work, day programs and social activities
- Planning travel routes that take into account mobility needs, fatigue, sensory preferences and safety
- Supporting you with door‑to‑door assistance, including getting in and out of vehicles and navigating buildings
Because Raha is built around nurse oversight and clinical thinking, we pay close attention to how your health, medications and energy levels interact with your travel needs, especially if you also receive nursing or high‑intensity supports.
Examples of Trips We Can Assist With
Your travel supports are designed around your own life – not a standard timetable. Some common examples include:
Health and wellbeing
- Trips to GPs, specialists, hospitals, imaging, allied health or therapy appointments
- Transport to exercise programs, hydrotherapy or rehabilitation sessions
Work, study and volunteering
- Regular transport to and from work, TAFE, university or training
- Support to reach volunteer roles or work‑experience placements linked to your goals
Social, community and civic activities
- Travel to day programs, community centres, hobby groups or places of worship
- Transport connected to your NDIS community participation or social activities funding, including evenings and weekends where appropriate
Everyday essentials
- Assistance to attend shopping centres, banking, hair appointments or key family commitments
- Help combining errands in a single trip so travel funding is used efficiently
Our Difference as a Transport Support Provider
Many providers describe transport as simply “getting you there”; at Raha Community Care we treat each journey as part of your overall support plan, not an afterthought.

Integrated with your other supports
Our transport arrangements can be aligned with your personal care, nursing, community participation and high‑intensity supports, so your day runs smoothly instead of feeling fragmented.
Who Can Use NDIS Code 0108?
Assistance with Travel/Transport Arrangements is generally suitable if:
- You are an NDIS participant whose disability makes it difficult or unsafe to use public transport independently
- You have transport‑related funding in your NDIS plan, such as Core – Transport (including items like 02_051_0108_1_1) or related travel supports
- You need support to reach work, study, medical appointments, community activities or other disability supports on a regular or ad‑hoc basis
If you are unsure whether your plan includes transport funding, Raha Community Care can help you read your plan and discuss questions with your support coordinator or planner.
How We Plan Your Transport Supports
We use a structured but flexible process so your travel arrangements feel dependable and easy to understand.
1. Understanding your needs and goals
We start with a detailed conversation about your mobility, communication, cultural needs, preferences about who supports you, typical weekly commitments and what a “good travel day” looks like for you.
2. Reviewing your funding and timetable
We look at the transport and related supports in your NDIS plan, then map out regular trips (for example, work days or therapy sessions) and one‑off or seasonal activities such as specialist reviews or community events.
3. Designing practical travel solutions
Together we choose the safest, most appropriate modes of transport – such as a support worker driving you, travelling with you on public transport, or combining multiple stops into a single journey to use funding wisely.
4. Matching you with the right support worker
Where a support worker is involved, we consider communication style, language, cultural fit, clinical experience and driving confidence to ensure you feel comfortable and respected on every trip.
5. Ongoing review and adjustment
As your circumstances, health or goals change, we review routes, timing and frequency so your transport supports continue to fit your life – not the other way around.
Working Alongside Your Other NDIS Supports
Transport is often the link that makes your other supports usable.
We coordinate with your existing Raha services – such as community nursing, daily personal activities, high‑intensity supports or community participation – so that travel times, personal care routines and appointment schedules complement one another rather than clash.
This joined‑up approach can reduce missed appointments, long waits and unnecessary stress for you and your family.
