National Travel Assistance (NTA) Scheme

What does travel assistance mean for me?


When your publicly funded specialist (not a GP) has referred you onto another publicly funded specialist you may be eligible to receive travel assistance under this scheme.

If eligible, you will receive assistance towards your travel and possibly your accommodation costs. Your specialist will need to approve accommodation and specialised transport needs, this includes taxi, mobility taxi, or air travel.

Travel by private vehicle or public transport is assessed on registration.
