Trusted NDIS Transport Services in Penrith
NDIS Travel and Transport Support By Lucky Support Solutions
NDIS transport services in Penrith help participants travel with a support worker who knows the area and knows them. Lucky Support Solutions is a registered NDIS provider serving Penrith and the suburbs around it. Penrith is a spread-out part of Western Sydney, and the distance between home, appointments and activities can be a real barrier without reliable transport. That is what we take care of. A support worker picks you up, drives you where you are going, and brings you home, whether that is Nepean Hospital, a class at Kingswood, work, or a day out along the Nepean River. If your NDIS plan includes transport funding, we can help you use it. Call us to talk about what you need, or send an enquiry and we will be in touch.
Helping You Travel with Confidence Across Penrith
Travelling can be stressful when you are not sure the driver understands your needs, or when a route is unfamiliar and running late feels likely. Our service is built to take that worry off your plate.
You travel with a support worker, not a stranger from a rideshare app. Our drivers know Penrith, so they know which entrance at Nepean Hospital drops you closest to your clinic, and where parking is easiest at Westfield Penrith. We keep the same worker with you where we can, because familiar faces make travel calmer, especially for participants who find new people or new places hard. The support is flexible, so it fits your week rather than forcing your week to fit a timetable.
Transport Assistance Tailored to your NDIS Goals
Transport is rarely just about the trip. It is about what the trip lets you do. We plan our support around the goals in your NDIS plan.
For some participants that goal is independence, so we build travel skills into the trip and step back as confidence grows. For others it is employment, and reliable transport is what keeps a job viable. It might be education, getting to TAFE or training on time. It might be community participation, so you stay connected instead of stuck at home. Or it might simply be daily living, the ordinary errands that keep a household running. We start with what you are working toward and shape the transport around it.
Where we can take you
Wherever your plan supports and life takes you, within a reasonable distance of Penrith.
Healthcare and therapy visits
Nepean Hospital, GPs, specialists, physio, occupational therapy and psychology appointments. Nepean is the main hospital for the area, and we run participants there regularly.
School, college and training centres
Trips to school, TAFE at Kingswood, university and other training providers, so education is not held up by getting there.
Workplace transport
Getting to and from work or a work placement, on a schedule that matches your shifts.
Shopping and essential errands
Westfield Penrith, the Homemaker Centre, the local shops, the chemist and the bank. The everyday trips that are easy to take for granted until they are hard to do.
Community programs and social events
Day programs, community groups, the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre, and events around Penrith that keep you part of things.
Recreational activities
The gym, the pool, sport, a walk along the Great River Walk, or a hobby you want to keep up.
Family and personal visits
Seeing family and friends, whether they are around the corner or across Western Sydney.
Flexible transport options for every participant
No two participants travel the same way, so we do not lock you into one arrangement.
- One-off trips for a single appointment or event
- Scheduled weekly transport for regular commitments like therapy or work
- Daily transport where your plan supports it
- Short-notice bookings when we have availability
- An individual transport plan that sets out your regular trips, mobility needs and preferences
Tell us how you like to travel and we will match the arrangement to it.

Supporting participants across Penrith and nearby areas
We serve Penrith and the surrounding suburbs, including Jamisontown, Kingswood, South Penrith, Glenmore Park, Emu Plains, Cambridge Park, Werrington, Cranebrook and St Marys. Distances out this way can be longer than in the inner parts of Western Sydney, and we plan for that when we set up your trips. If your suburb is not listed, ask us anyway.
Is NDIS Transport Funding available for you?
Transport funding is part of many NDIS plans, though not every plan includes it. It generally sits in your Core Supports budget under the Transport category, and it is separate from the funding that pays for your support worker’s time. The NDIS sets transport funding at different levels depending on how much help you need to get around, so the amount in your plan reflects your situation.
You can use our transport service whether you are self-managed, plan-managed or NDIA-managed. If you are self-managed, you claim from your own funding. If you are plan-managed, your plan manager handles our invoices. If you are NDIA-managed, we claim directly as a registered provider. Not sure whether transport is funded in your plan? We can help you look during our first chat, or you can check with your plan manager or support coordinator.
