It supports travel to work, study, appointments and community activities. The amount depends on how much your disability affects your travel and what you are travelling for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Activity based transport\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>When a support worker drives you to or from a community activity, that travel can be claimed as part of the support. Providers usually charge an agreed per kilometre rate plus the worker's time. The key word is agreed: rates and rules should be written into your service agreement before the first trip, so there are no surprises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Travel training: the long game\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Funding rides solves today. Learning to travel solves every day after. Travel training uses capacity building funding to help you learn routes, plan trips, top up your myki and build confidence with accompanied practice runs until you can go solo. For many people it is the single most freeing skill in their plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Local tip for the western suburbs\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Our region is spread out, and not everything is near a station.
