If I take a support worker on holidays with me, will the NDIS pay for flights, accommodation etc?

Share

No. The NDIS will not cover their personal travel costs including flights, transport, accommodation or meals. If it’s necessary for you or your child to have a support worker to travel safely or participate in a holiday, the NDIS may cover the support workers support hours, travel time and kilometres when delivering support.

Before booking, agree on expectations. Discuss how many hours the worker will deliver each day, what they’ll help with, and who is paying for what. A written agreement can help make things clearer.

See Ask a plan manager: Holidays and the NDIS for more information.
