NDIS Funding for Travel Supports
Achieve Your NDIS Goals Through Travel
Travelling can be a fantastic way for NDIS participants to achieve their goals. The NDIS is all about giving people with disabilities more choice and control over their lives. Travel can help people to build confidence, independence and social connections.
NDIS funding therefore may be able to be utilised to fund supports provided on a trip with us. Everyone gets assessed differently and there are no guarantees, so setting the right goals on your plan is crucial.

NDIS Funding for Travel Supports
Build Skills & Connection While You Travel
Travel can be a powerful way for NDIS participants to work toward their goals. The NDIS is all about giving people with disabilities more choice and control over their lives — and supported travel can help build confidence, develop independence, and encourage social connection.
While the NDIS doesn’t fund travel itself, it may fund certain support services provided during a trip — like personal care or help with community participation — if they align with a participant’s existing goals and plan. Every person’s situation is different, so funding decisions are always assessed by the NDIA.

What our passengers are saying
I had such a lovely time on my recent ClubMates getaway. Natalie, my Support Crew, was fantastic —she explained everything clearly and was so kind and attentive, especially with my guide dog, Dotty. The accommodation was perfect, and everything ran so smoothly. It was a real success, and I’m already thinking about organising my next one with ClubMates.

I just wanted to let you know how much Heidi thoroughly enjoyed her trip with Clubmates. It was the first interstate tour that she has been on, so none of us really knew what to expect - however we were all pleasantly surprised. Thank you very much for taking such good care of her, and for making her holiday so special - it'll be a very special memory for her.
Ingrid
