Vehicle modifications and specialised driver training
Many of us rely on a car or other type of vehicle to get around. You might use it for work, to visit friends and family, or enjoy other activities. You may need changes made to a vehicle so you can drive it or travel in it. We call these vehicle modifications. If you need vehicle modifications because of your disability, we might be able to help. The vehicle would need to be yours or one you can use regularly.
We may also fund a specialised vehicle driving instructor so you can drive or learn how to use the modifications in your vehicle.
Note:
- When we say ‘your plan’, we mean your NDIS plan.
- As part of the recent changes to the NDIS laws we are moving towards a new framework for planning. Rules need to be developed for this new framework. We’re working on how and when we’ll introduce these changes.
Until then, the information in this Our Guideline is about our ‘old framework’ for planning, which includes the legislative changes that became operational when the law commenced. All current plans will be known as 'old framework' plans, and we will continue to develop these until all participants have transitioned to the new framework.
