Provider travel - Employment - Therapeutic Supports - non-labour costs

Line Item Description

This line item is used by NDIS providers to claim reimbursement for the non-labour costs associated with travelling to a participant to deliver specific employment-related therapeutic supports. It covers the direct out-of-pocket expenses a provider might incur for travel, separate from the support worker's time.

When Can This Item Be Used?
This travel cost item is specifically linked to the "Employment Related Assessment, Counselling and Advice" supports within the Finding and Keeping a Job capacity building category. A provider can only claim for non-labour travel costs when they are also eligible to claim for the worker's travel time for delivering these primary supports.




What Costs Are Covered?
With the participant's prior agreement, a provider can claim a reasonable contribution towards expenses incurred while travelling to provide face-to-face support. The NDIS considers the following amounts to be reasonable contributions:



Vehicle Costs: Up to $0.99 per kilometre for a vehicle owned by the provider or the support worker.


Other Expenses: Up to the full amount for other transport-related costs, such as:

Road tolls

Parking fees

Public transport fares
