What it covers
Getting out keeps people connected, and it's often the part of the week people look forward to most. A support worker can help with:
- Appointments: the GP, therapy, specialists and the pharmacy.
- Shopping: groceries, errands and the bank.
- Social and community activities: clubs, classes, the gym, church or catching up with friends.
- Transport: a lift there and back, or help using public transport.
How it's paid for
Outings and transport can be paid from your NDIS funding if they're included in your plan. Ask us how travel is charged before you start. It's set out in your service agreement.
Plans are changing. From 1 October 2026, NDIS funding for social, economic and community participation is being reduced as plans are made or reassessed. If your plan is changing, check what's included before booking outings.
