Summer Getaways
Learn how to use your NDIS funding for holiday support
With the warmer months approaching, now is the perfect time to start planning your summer getaway. For people with disabilities, taking a holiday is a way to relax and recharge and an opportunity to explore new places, try new activities, and connect with others. If you’re an NDIS participant, the good news is that your NDIS funding can be used for the care and support you need while on holiday.
What can NDIS funding cover for your holiday?
NDIS funding is designed to support your goals and needs directly related to your disability. While the NDIS does not directly pay for travel expenses like flights or accommodation, it can cover the support you need to have a successful holiday. This might include:
- Support workers to assist with personal care or daily activities
- Transport assistance, if you require accessible transportation
- Specialised equipment hire, such as mobility aids needed during your trip
How to use your NDIS funding for holiday support
To use your NDIS funding for holiday support, it’s important to include it in your NDIS goals and plan. Talk to your support coordinator or plan manager about how your holiday fits in with your needs and personal goals, and work with them to arrange the necessary services.
Planning ahead is essential to make sure everything is ready for your trip, including organising the right amount of support you need and ensuring all accommodation and activities are fully accessible.
