Community transport operators

Transport for NSW provides funding to community transport operators to provide services under three government programs.

Programs 

Commonwealth Home Support Program

The Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) provides funding for older eligible individuals and is aimed at supporting individuals in staying independent and in their own home for longer. This funding is for the provision of community transport services via community transport providers. 

Assessment for eligibility to receive CHSP support is managed by My Aged Care.

Community Transport Program

The Community Transport Program (CTP) assists individuals who are transport disadvantaged owing to physical, social, cultural and / or geographic factors.  Individuals who do not qualify for other support programs may be eligible for community transport.

CTP is funded by the NSW Government and aims to address transport disadvantage at the local level via community transport organisations.

NSW Health’s Non-Government Organisations (NGO) Grants Program

NSW Health’s Non-Government Organisations (NGO) Grants Program supports the provision of non-emergency health-related transport programs that enhance access to health care by catering for the travel needs of people who are transport-disadvantaged. Transport for NSW administers the contract management of the NGO Grants Program (on behalf of NSW Health) for community transport organisations that hold a Community Transport Service Contract.
