Travelling safely and comfortably is an important part of everyday life, but for many individuals living with disability, navigating transport can feel difficult or overwhelming. At MalagaCare, we believe everyone deserves the freedom to move around their community with confidence — whether it’s attending appointments, going to work, visiting family, or enjoying social activities.
Our travel and transport support is designed to remove barriers and make each journey easier. We assist participants in understanding transport options, building travel skills, and accessing safe and reliable transportation when public transport becomes challenging.
Through personalised guidance, hands-on training, and dependable support worker assistance, we empower you to move through your community with greater independence. Whether you want to learn how to use buses and trains or simply need a trusted team to help you get to your destination comfortably, MalagaCare is here to walk — and drive — with you every step of the way.
We work closely with participants, families, and carers to ensure your transport support aligns with your NDIS goals and daily routines. With us, every outing becomes more manageable, predictable, and enjoyable.

How do I manage my NDIS transport funding?
Your plan manager can help track and allocate your transport budget. If you are unsure how to manage this part of your plan, our team can guide you or connect you with trusted plan managers.
Does NDIS cover taxis or rideshare trips?
If you are unable to use public transport due to your disability, NDIS may cover the cost of taxis, rideshares, or community transport. We can help you understand how to use this funding correctly.
Can a support worker drive me in my own vehicle?
Yes. If it is reasonable and necessary for your support needs, a support worker may drive your personal vehicle to help you reach appointments, work, or community activities.
Can MalagaCare help me learn public transport?
Absolutely. We provide step-by-step training to help you use public transport confidently, including reading signs, using travel cards, planning routes, and practising safe travel skills.
