Students with disability who are unable to travel to and from school under Transport for NSW's School Student Transport Scheme may be eligible for access to transport assistance under the Department of Education and Communities' Assisted School Travel Program.
The Assisted School Travel Program provides specialised door-to-door transport assistance for eligible students between their permanent residence and school at no cost to families where parents and carers are unable to provide or arrange transport for the student either fully or in part.
All applications for access to assisted school travel services are assessed in accordance with the Program's eligibility criteria based on the individual travel support needs of students.
The Assisted School Travel Program Guidelines provide information about the services provided under the program. The forms and other important information can be accessed via the links on the right hand side of this page.
For enquiries regarding eligibility and applications for access to transport services, please contact your School Principal.
Information is also available from the Department's Assisted School Travel Unit, and contact can be made by telephone on 1300 338 278 or by email to assistedschooltravel@det.nsw.edu.au.
