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.
