Who Can Benefit from Disability-Friendly Holidays?
NDIS participants of all ages and disabilities can benefit—especially those seeking new experiences, independence, or respite. Concept Care helps tailor holidays to individual needs, with the right support in place.
- NDIS-Approved participants – If you have an active NDIS plan and funding for Core Supports or STA, you may be eligible for holiday assistance with Concept Care support workers.
- Wheelchair users – Concept Care can help you plan accessible holidays with a support worker who assists with mobility, transfers, and accessible activities.
- Vision or hearing impaired – We provide planning support and trained staff to assist vision- or hearing-impaired participants with communication, safety, and orientation on holiday.
- People with autism – Concept Care plans structured, sensory-aware holidays with support workers who understand autism and can ensure a calm, routine-based environment.

What Makes a Holiday ‘Supported’ for NDIS Participants?
A supported holiday—often part of tailored NDIS holiday packages— includes a trained support worker accompanying you during your trip, helping with personal care, routines, and activity access. Concept Care provides the worker and helps plan your trip, ensuring it aligns with your goals. While NDIS won’t fund transport or hotels, we help you maximise your Core Supports for a smooth and enjoyable break. It’s all about safe, structured travel with the right support in place.
NDIS Holiday Accommodation in Sydney & NSW
While Concept Care doesn’t provide or book accommodation, we help you choose accessible places to stay based on your needs. We guide you to holiday parks, hotels, or rentals with features like ramps, grab rails, and nearby facilities. Once booked, our support worker accompanies you during the stay, assisting with routines, mobility, and participation in planned activities. You bring the destination—we’ll bring the support.
Short-Term Accommodation vs. NDIS Holidays: What's the Difference?
Short-Term Accommodation (STA) is often used for respite at a registered facility. Supported holidays, however, are participant-led trips where a support worker joins you. Concept Care focuses on holidays: we help plan your trip and provide the worker to accompany you. While STA must follow NDIS respite rules, supported holidays can reflect your goals—fun, skill-building, or social inclusion—outside a formal respite setting. It’s travel, your way, with support.
Planning a Trip In Australia With Your Holiday Support Worker
Concept Care helps plan your holiday across Australia, offering an experienced holiday support worker to assist with daily needs and routines. We support you in choosing activities, managing your day, and staying safe. Although we don’t book travel or accommodation, we help structure your trip so it aligns with your NDIS plan and personal goals. You choose where to go—we’ll guide the how, with the right support in place.
What the NDIS Will (and Won’t) Cover on Holiday
The NDIS may fund a support worker to assist during holidays, plus personal care and help with activities aligned to your goals. However, it does not cover flights, hotel stays, or meals. At Concept Care, we help clarify what’s claimable and support you to plan a holiday within your funding. We handle the care—so you can enjoy the trip knowing your supports are in place and NDIS compliant.
NDIS Funded Expenses
- Support workers – Your NDIS Core Supports may fund a support worker to accompany you and provide help with daily tasks during your holiday.
- Personal care assistance – Support for personal care, such as hygiene or mobility, can be included during your trip if it’s part of your regular support needs.
- Your usual disability equipment and supplies – NDIS will continue to fund equipment or supplies you regularly use, such as mobility aids or communication tools, while on holiday.
- Therapy services – If aligned with your goals, you may continue therapy during holidays, such as physio or behaviour support, depending on provider availability.
- Support to participate in activities – Funding may include support to help you join in community or leisure activities that are part of your NDIS plan objectives.
NDIS Not Funded Expenses
- Travel expenses – Flights, taxis, fuel, and other transport costs are generally not covered by NDIS and must be paid by the participant.
- Accommodation costs – Unless your plan includes Short-Term Accommodation, the NDIS does not fund holiday stays such as hotels or Airbnb bookings.
- Meals and food – Meals and groceries during your trip are considered personal expenses and cannot be claimed under NDIS holiday funding.
- Entertainment and tourist activities – Tickets for shows, tours, amusement parks or other recreation are not covered and must be paid by you.
- Travel-related fees – NDIS doesn’t cover travel insurance, booking fees, baggage charges, or passport expenses associated with your trip.
- Additional equipment purchased specifically for travel – Any new equipment or supplies bought just for a trip, like temporary travel gear, are not funded by NDIS.
- Extra support hours – Support hours used beyond your approved budget aren’t covered—you’ll need to self-fund any additional hours required on holiday.
Can You Travel Overseas With NDIS Funding?
Generally, the NDIS is intended for use within Australia. Overseas travel may be possible for short durations but only in exceptional cases aligned with your plan goals. Concept Care does not provide international support. We focus on helping you plan local or interstate trips that align with your supports. For any overseas plans, you’ll need to self-fund travel and accommodation, and get approval for any accompanying supports under strict NDIS criteria.
What Is the $15,000 NDIS Holiday and Do I Qualify?
There’s no specific $15,000 NDIS holiday, but some participants may have around this amount under Short-Term Accommodation or Core Supports. This can be used for supported holidays if it aligns with your goals. Concept Care can review your funding and help you plan how to use it for a meaningful break, with a support worker accompanying you. We ensure your trip stays compliant, goal-driven, and within budget.
What You Need Before Booking Your Holiday
Before booking, check your NDIS plan includes relevant Core Supports or STA funding. You’ll also need a clear goal in your plan about community participation, skill building, or respite. Concept Care can help you prepare by reviewing your plan, liaising with your support coordinator, and confirming support worker availability. Once everything’s aligned, we’ll help map out your travel dates, routines, and support needs—so your trip is smooth and stress-free.
