National Travel Assistance (NTA) Scheme
Can I claim for accommodation costs?

If you are eligible and accommodation is approved by your specialist, you will be able to claim for some assistance for example, payment towards costs of a motel room, or an allowance when staying with friends and family.

Accommodation is not usually approved for travel less than 100 km one way. If accommodation is required when travelling under 100km one way an approval letter from the specialist must be supplied.

You can either ask your hospital travel coordinator, health or disability specialist or hospital social worker about preferred accommodation providers, or make your own accommodation arrangements.
