Travel Companion

​

We understand that travelling with a mental illness can be challenging.

That's why we offer the services of our well-travelled Vlinder travel companions who can support you throughout your journey. Whether you need assistance getting to your destination, or want someone to accompany you throughout your trip, we're here to help.

​

Our Vlinder travel companions are knowledgeable and experienced support workers who can help alleviate

the stress that often comes with travelling. Let us help you make the most of your travels by providing the support you need to relax and enjoy the journey.

​

This may include:

​

  • Researching and planning the trip

  • Discussing plans & budgets with family, carers or friends

  • Discussing NDIS core support budget with your plan manager or support coordinator

  • Organising letters from a psychologist or psychiatrist (translated if needed)

  • Medication preparation & letter from GP (translated if needed)

  • Booking flights, transport & accommodation

  • Finding the best suitable travel insurance

  • Organising travel documents

  • Developing your personal health passport

  • Filling in Mental Health Travel Safety Plan

  • Listing triggers & coping mechanisms

  • Creating an emergency phone numbers list

  • Listing local support services at the destination

  • Packing suitcases

  • Respite assistance

 

Did you know that you can use your NDIS funding to pay for Vlinder travel companion support time?

We understand that the costs associated with travel can add up quickly, which is why we want to make sure that our services

are accessible to everyone. Typically, the costs of a Vlinder travel companion are funded out of the Core Supports budget

in your NDIS plan. However, since Core Supports funds are flexible, you may be able to use budgets from other categories

within Core Supports as well.

​

If you're interested in learning more about how we can support your travel plans or provide respite assistance,

please don't hesitate to get in touch with us. Our friendly and knowledgeable team will be happy to answer any questions

you may have and help you plan your next adventure.
