Published on August 29, 2025 | Updated on August 30, 2025

Are you or someone you support planning to visit Melbourne, VIC while receiving NDIS funding? Whether it’s for a holiday, family visit, medical appointments, or short-term respite, Openhearted Support is here to provide flexible and reliable care during your stay.

As a registered NDIS provider, we proudly assist interstate participants who come to Melbourne, ensuring they receive the same level of quality support they would at home.

Can NDIS Participants Access Support While Travelling Interstate?

Yes! The NDIS is Australia-wide, meaning your funding can be used anywhere in the country. If you’re travelling to Melbourne from another state or territory, you can still receive funded supports such as:

Daily personal care (showering, grooming, meal prep)

Assistance with mobility and equipment

Community access and social participation

High care or complex supports (if required)

Respite and Short-Term Accommodation (STA)

Transport and assistance with appointments

📌 Important Note for LACs and Support Coordinators: Participants must use a registered provider in the state they are visiting—this is where Openhearted Support steps in.
