What should I consider when applying for NDIS-funded driving lessons?
A: There are a few important factors to keep in mind:
Disability-related needs Funding is based on how your disability affects your ability to learn to drive, so this must be clearly documented.
Specialised instructors Lessons must be delivered by instructors experienced in supporting people with disability.
Cost The NDIS will fund a specific number of hours at the rate listed in the approved quote.
Vehicle modifications If required, the NDIS may also fund adaptive equipment or vehicle modifications to support safe driving.
🔔 Important Note: Always confirm with your LAC, support coordinator, or plan manager that driving lessons are included in your plan and claimable under Improved Daily Living, Assistance with Daily Life, or a related category.
