Abstract

This report details the development of a prototype classification and funding model for community transport providers in NSW. The research was conducted by the Centre for Health Service Development, within the Australian Health Services Research Institute at the University of Wollongong, in partnership
with and funded by Community Transport Organisation (CTO), the peak body for community transport providers in NSW. The project was commissioned by CTO in March 2022 in response to concerns from the sector around future funding stability under the payment in arrears model that has been proposed by the Australian Government in the ‘Support at Home Program’.
