Description

Navigating the complexities of transport support within metropolitan areas, NDIS Delivery Metro serves as a vital link for participants of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). This service is designed to streamline the management and delivery of transport supports, ensuring that participants can effectively access their funding and meet their transportation needs.

Key Features

• Flexible Management Options: Participants can manage their transport funding through various methods, including NDIA management, plan management, self-management, or regular payments into their bank account.
• Compliance with NDIS Guidelines: Providers are required to claim transport costs using the designated NDIS support line item, adhering to the participant’s chosen funding management method.
• Transparent Cost Recovery: Additional transport costs, such as kilometres travelled, can be recovered if agreed upon in the service agreement, with clear invoicing practices.

Service Provisions

• Worker Time Claims: When accompanying or transporting participants, worker time can be claimed at the hourly rate for the relevant support line item. In metropolitan areas, up to 20 minutes of worker travel time can be claimed for travel without a participant.
• Separate Invoicing for Travel Costs: Travel costs must be invoiced separately, accurately reflecting the actual travel duration.
• Group Transport Cost Management: Costs should be apportioned among participants, ensuring fairness and transparency.

Intended Use

NDIS Delivery Metro is intended to facilitate access to community activities, personal care services, and early childhood supports. By adhering to NDIS guidelines, it helps participants manage their transport needs effectively, promoting greater community involvement and support access.

General Guidelines

• Accurate Claims and Invoicing: Ensure all claims and invoices accurately reflect the travel and support provided.
• Cost Apportioning: Follow NDIS guidelines for apportioning group transport costs and managing travel allowances.

This service-based product does not involve physical materials, focusing instead on providing a structured and compliant approach to managing transport supports within the NDIS framework. Through careful adherence to guidelines, it aims to enhance the accessibility and effectiveness of transport solutions for NDIS participants in metropolitan areas.
