Eligibility for South Australian Transport Subsidy Scheme (SATSS) vouchers for people aged under 65 has changed.
When applying for SATSS vouchers anyone under 65 needs to include a letter from the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) that states that they are not eligible for any NDIS services. If they receive any NDIS services (even if it is not transport) they are not eligible for SATSS vouchers.
Existing SATSS members who are under 65 can be issued with new vouchers until 30 June 2019. From 1 July 2019 existing SATSS members who believe they are still eligible for taxi vouchers will need to re-apply with a letter from the NDIS stating that they are not eligible for the NDIS.
For further information, contact SATSS on 1300 360 840.
