Disability Travel Concessions

What Disability Travel Concessions are available in my State?

There are many concessions available for people with a disability who are traveling alone or with a carer or companion. After speaking with MyCareSpace members, we realised that many people don't know what is available in their state.

These concessions are particularly important for people who are not yet receiving or ineligible to receive NDIS funding.
