What the Like Family travel time policy?

Social Carers do not get paid for the time they spend travelling to or from a booking

If a Social Carer agrees to use their own car during a booking to assist you in accessing the community, you have the option to pay them $1.00 per kilometre to cover the vehicle costs, including fuel. Kilometres covered start from when a Carer picks you up to when they drop you off.

If you are an NDIS participant, you can flexibly use your plan’s core support funding to claim service provider costs associated with transporting participants to and from NDIS funded community-based activities.

It's important to discuss who will cover costs and the amount before the booking takes place. We suggest these conversations happen during your initial Meet and Greet.
