National Travel Assistance (NTA) Scheme

Can I claim for the costs of a support person?


Under certain circumstances you may also be eligible for assistance towards a support person's costs, for example, if your health or disability specialist recommends a support person to assist you with clinical decision-making, or to provide physical support.

When a child is eligible for travel and accommodation assistance, they will always be eligible for assistance towards a support person's costs.

Funding for support person accommodation greater than 16 consecutive nights requires an approval letter from the specialist.
