How are travel charges calculated?

Fora calculates travel time using Google maps driving times regardless of whether the therapy assistant is driving or taking public transport.

  • For example, the distance from your home to allied health assistant’s home via car is 40 minutes one way:
    • you would be charged an additional 20 minutes to travel to your home and;
    • an additional 20 minutes to travel from your home.
      • Total = (20 minutes travel to home) + (Therapy session duration) + (20 minutes return travel from home)

The maximum charge for travel time in metro areas (according to the NDIS) is 30 minutes to participant’s location and 30 mins for return travel.
